Uncertainty Regarding Driving Privileges
The episode explores the ongoing uncertainty faced by Tom regarding his driving privileges due to his history of seizures. Tom explains that his ability to drive is tied to being seizure-free for six months, but the unpredictability of seizures makes it challenging to regain his driving license.
