We see Barry and John go through a rather large delivery order. John’s buddy gives him a glove and invites him over to learn how to swing a bat. Then, John and said friend toss a baseball back and forth. John watches while his friend plays baseball. Barry and John take a walk outside their house, admiring God’s creation. The following morning, the family of three watches a sermon online. I bet that grinds Sally’s gears, seeing Natalie have the career she should’ve had. Our eponymous criminal watches a video about the “sh*tty things” Abe Lincoln did while Sally checks out Natalie’s ( D’Arcy Carden) TV show. We see Barry and Sally sitting in the living room. Later, John wakes and overhears his parents bickering quietly. RELATED: Catch up on all the bloody madness with our Barry recaps! Sally concurs and believes it’s cool that Lincoln’s on the penny. Barry continues his Abe Lincoln lesson and equates his qualities to the latter, claiming he, too, knows a thing or two about compromise, pragmatism and optimism. That evening, John attempts to cut through an ostensibly somewhat frozen chicken pot pie. Sally takes the phone away from her ear and chugs a bottle of vodka. He rattles off facts about our 16th president. He homeschools their son and has been on an Abe Lincoln kick. Next, Sally chats with Barry on the phone while pumping gas. Later, said coworker, Bevel (Spenser Granese), stands behind her and flirts with her. We learn Sally’s other coworker has a thing for her.

Sally pines for what she’ll never have, while Barry buries the truest parts of himself to become the stereotypical family man. This outing, “tricky legacies,” is about Barry’s and Sally’s legacies and how they serve as examples for John.
