Been thinking about how Rays family relations weren't great and how Peter managed to make it 100x worse within a visit that didn't even last twenty-four hours (probably less than twelve if I'm being honest.)
His sister and brother didn’t get along (one being bi and polyamorous democrat and the other being heavily republican, drank a ton of alcohol, and was a member of the NRA who was homophobic), his brother didn’t like him at all, and when Ray brought Peter around he made Everyone mad and they stopped talking to Ray altogether. The house Ray talks about mortgaging was the house his dad left him because, and I quote, “I figure that as long as you’ve got friends like him (‘him’ referring to Peter), you’re going to need all the help you can get…”
Peter had managed to piss everyone off (unsurprisingly). He pissed off Rays brother and, to the surprise of no one, flirted with his sister, took her around New York and then to a motel and left here there. Resulting in Ray hiding at Egons place because he had no clue what Peter did but he was terrified of the results (for good reasons. His voicemail had his entire family screaming and cussing him out.) Then his parents died eighteen months later in a plane crash.
Then he proceeded to have to mortgage said house with Peter getting him a high interest rate.
Oh and Egon kept telling him that his parents might not be dead and that they might just be in the Bermuda Triangle.
