See, Cougar's family won't take him back. Not after what happened when he was eighteen. When Clay had asked what Pooch and Jensen had wanted to do, Cougar hadn't even been a question. He follows where they go. He helps Pooch with Jolene, he delivers Jake back to his sister. Cougar has no place to go and no home.

This is as much as he's ever had. "You all deserve normal lives," he says firmly. Cougar knows that he's not cut out for that -- never will be.
