The apples are never fair enough, the dough never flaky enough.

Why bother? Because the athlete married the politician and what happened was a pie was made that ended up using fair apples and flaky dough.  Drumming begins, at the dining room table, as this dessert is being served.

The drummer is a teenager who has won a bet from his parents, So he is allowed him to drum at the corner of the dining room, to announce the pie. Although the pie is not important, the announcement of it is. For the athlete has usurped the head of the table from the politician. And no one knows why. And the teenage drummer would like to add drama to this new development.
