Nick’s pretty, youthful mistress, Andie, is at Go’s back door. Nick lets her in and they talk. They have been having an affair for over a year: Andie is a twenty-three year old student Nick taught in a journalism class. Nick describes meeting and falling in love with Andie who, unlike his wife, is easy to please and likes anything Nick does. Just like that, he’s no longer in love with his wife.

Andie insists that she needs to hear from Nick every day from now on, or she doesn’t know what she will do. Nick is desperate to keep Andie’s existence from the police and the Elliott’s so he agrees.

They fall asleep together, and Nick wakes up at dawn to hurry Andie out of the house. Go is standing there when Nick shuts the door on Andie. Nick is caught, and this secret is out.

Amy accompanies Maureen and her friends to the plasma donation center. They have been giving plasma to earn a little bit of money for years. Amy says she is terrified of blood and faints. The other women, including Mo, take care of her. Nick has disappeared and doesn’t come home until 11 p.m. that night.
