After Ben leaves for work, Christine reflects on how much she has put her husband through. She thinks about how he cared for her, even after her affair, and feels guilty about her attraction to Dr. Nash. Christine resolves to tell Ben about her appointments with Dr. Nash when he gets home.

Dr. Nash calls to say he has arranged a visit to Waring House on Thursday. He agrees that Christine should tell Ben about the journal and their appointments and suggests she brings him to Waring House so they can meet. Before ending the call, Dr. Nash points out that Christine read her journal that day without a call to prompt her. He believes this is a sign of progress.

That evening Ben seems despondent. Displeased when he finds Christine preparing an omelet, he says he had planned to cook pork chops. Over dinner, Christine asks if they ever had children, and Ben replies in the negative. However, when Christine says she remembers having a baby, Ben admits they had a son who died in Afghanistan. Christine asks to see Adam’s grave, and Ben agrees to take her there that weekend.
