Either way, he says the reason he lives with his grandparents is because of his dad. His dad was an alcoholic and would verbally abuse Alex, calling him "worthless".

Trying to lighten the mood, Alex offers you the opportunity to see what [[Dusty]] will do for a barbecued steak.

As of 1.3, if you enter the house right after Alex, he hasn't had enough time to walk to his room and open the door, so you will get stuck there during the cutscene. However, you can still press skip to resolve this.

Enter town on a Sunday to trigger part 2 of the event.

Part 3 can be triggered by entering the [[Stardrop Saloon|saloon]]. Alex, Kent, Shane, George and Gus can be seen watching a gridball game in the backroom half of which has been decorated with gridball memorabilia and a TV. The Farmer walks in, where Alex tells the farmer that although his dream of going pro may not have been realised (though he assures the farmer that he's happy with his life now) this is a small way of realising it. Kent adds that it takes his mind off things, and Shane agrees. Gus tells the Farmer that watching the game is good for business, too. The cutscene ends with the Farmer saying that the guys have a new tradition now and that the {{price|5000}} was well spent.
