Why does support have to involve going to eat with his parents at all? She can support his standing them up.

Putting myself in Lucy's shoes, I'd want to be supportive of Walky. If that means facing a little unfairness and bullying, so be it.

@Shane: Linda and Charles could just as easily have texted, "Sorry if that means ANY OF YOU are unavailable." After all, either Sal or Walky could have had other plans for dinner. They deliberately chose to only mention Lucy. Your reading is extremely charitable.

Or, Sal and Joyce agree to take out each other's moms, STRANGERS ON A TRAIN-style.

Could be the parents realized the ball was dropped and are regrouping to do one with more planning and advanced notice. I choose to read the Lucy comment as extending a welcome while offering an out if she wants it.
I’m willing to cut them a certain amount of slack for good intentions, except for the systematically excluding Sal and favoring Walky all those years, which they should apologize for and try to make amends for. I don’t see a better option, I doubt seppuku would actually restore honor or make Sal feel better.

Sal's distressed silence speaks volumes.

I knew they had issues, but they are just depraved.

Lucy is all "I can resolve this family strife with the power of positive thinking".
Honey, no. This is not the place for an alpha sweetie.

Joyce's reaction in panel 2 indicates that she realizes something's wrong; really hoping she seeks Dorothy out before the end of the day/storyline, because they need each other right now.
And, Sal and Walky, for the love of God can one of you PLEASE tell Lucy what's what, because she's somehow still not getting it.

There is no hiding Lindas intention there, no matter how much she tries to mask herself.
