Bowen has an interview as his father with the Bay Area Legal Aid. He’s unsure how to answer the man when he asks what type of international law Andrew practices, so he says he practices them all. When the man tells him that it is an entry-level job, Bowen tells him that he loves entries.
Bowen is really upset that he messed up the interview because he cannot be like Knox, who often messes up. He tells Knox that the way he gets his parents’ attention is by being good at things. Bowen goes on to say that their parents are always so busy managing Knox’s ADHD that Bowen sometimes feels like he disappears. Bowen decides to apply to all of the local law firms on behalf of his father, and Knox is amazed at how Bowen is able to concentrate without getting distracted. Bowen tells Knox that he maintains focus by trying to find the one neat thing in everything he does. When Knox asks him what is neat about himself, Bowen tells Knox that he is not boring.
