In the season finale of Single Parents, “Ketchup,” Will (Taran Killan) is still determined to get his daughter into Lance Bass’ Space Camp. When Will finds out that Angie’s (Leighton Meester) ex Derek lives near Space Camp, Will convinces Angie to confront Derek about why left her when she was pregnant. They find Derek working at the drive-thru window at Ratso’s, where “a rowdy and awkward encounter between the three of them” ensues.
