After a well-intentioned speech about the circumstance, Sidney leaves his son to finish up. It is then revealed that Isaiah was pleasuring himself to a picture of his father when he was younger. During an unknown amount of time, Isaiah had continually worsened eventually resorting to sexually harassing his father which most likely began when his father came home crying after attending Isaiah's prom most likely as a result of the harassment.

Fourteen years later, Isaiah acquires a respectable background and is married. Unfortunately, the abuse continued. During the wedding reception, his mother Joan hears a commotion and peering through a hole in a fence, she is horrified to see Isaiah rashly unbuttoning his father to perform oral sex on him. Despite seeing this, Joan decides to do nothing about it.

Sidney had since taken to writing a manuscript entitled Cocoon Man: Confessions by Sidney Johnson, and places the memoir under his wife's pillow. Isaiah arrives claiming that his toilet was broken and he goes into Sidney's bedroom. He discovers the document and tries to guilt trip his father about what he had written, accusing him of starting his spiral into incestuous obsession. Threatening to burn the manuscript or do something worse, Sidney reluctantly gets rid of the memoir.

Joan overhears her husband crying out for help, but she turns the volume on the television up to drown out his screams.
