Andy worried that Cake Cream still distrusted him for what he'd tried to do; how could they not?

His history of chronic depression had worsened over time: he had stopped taking prescribed meds over a year ago and was sinking fast.

To lighten his mood he turned on the TV and came across a documentary, "The Bridge:"

He screamed and quickly switched the channel: an old variety show, with Bobbie Gentry singing "Ode to Billie Joe."

"What the fuck?" he screamed.

Doctor Skydance ran in and gave him a calming injection of hospital grade heroin and Andy drifted away...

He awoke the following day, obsessed with the idea of jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge, just as he'd seen other lost souls do in the documentary he watched.

"They say life imitates art" he mused; he then got permission to "Go to town to buy A DQ strawberry blizzard," but upon his release he ubered to the airport and flew to San Francisco; he walked to the Golden Gate and pondered the pluses and minuses of his life.

Time to make a really big decision.
