Later we see flashbacks of his mother being gone and his father falling into a depression, which could suggest she [[MissingMom died]]. Fred snaps his dad out of his depression by cooking for him and the two get their happy lives back to the point where Fred's dad starts dating a new woman who starts to do all the cooking herself.
