The Rose family held a barbecue in November of 2016 after Johnny and Roland find an old grill on the Rosebud Motel property.
Overview[]
The barbecue is held to celebrate David and Patrick's four month anniversary, that being the longest relationship David has ever had. However, the barbecue doesn't end up the way Johnny or Patrick envisioned, as the latter's expectation is shattered with the arrival of an unexpected last minute invitee: Rachel, Patrick's ex-fiancée who booked a room at the motel as a means to get back together with him, and Alexis just happened to invite her to the barbecue.
This causes a great deal of stress in David, who originally had no intention of even asking Patrick to the barbeque as he wanted him to have nothing to do with his family; David's hesitance is in large part to wanting to live within his own historic comfort zone of always consciously or unconsciously sabotaging his relationships in not being able to trust anyone, and following the barbecue, a brief rift is formed in David and Patrick's relationship, as David feels as if he's lost his trust in Patrick.
