- Synopsis
- Squabbling siblings Patrick and Marilyn have always driven each other a little crazy. But when Marilyn brings home her new TV-star fiancé, Ryan, it seems to drive Patrick over the edge. First, he tries to drive a wedge between the happy couple… then he reaches for sharper instruments. Every family has a few skeletons in the closet; "A Dog’s Breakfast" is the hell-of-a-mess Patrick makes when he tries to add another to his.
