Though he hasn’t signed the lease yet, Daniel tells David how he is going to decorate his room in their new Evanston apartment. An anonymous benefactor is paying their rent for six months in order to help them move out of the dangerous South Side neighborhood that they are currently living in with Danielle, David's daughter. Evanston is a suburb north of Chicago that has a much lower crime rate and more job opportunities than Roseland. The realtor warned Daniel and David that there is lead in the apartment's paint, so they should watch Danielle carefully to make sure she does not consume any of it. Daniel responded, "I think lead paint is the very least of our problems."
