It is the end of April, and Jim is in the depths of grief. He feels a distance between himself and the rest of the world. He decides to go to Maine and stay with his sister, Susan.

Pam has been in recovery for three months and is feeling good about it until Lydia Robbins stops by one day. She says that Pam is missed in the Hamptons but doesn’t acknowledge her affair with Ted. Pam misses her AA meeting that night. The next day, Friday, she goes to a museum alone, and on Saturday, she returns to her AA meeting. On Sunday, the apartment is too quiet, but instead of calling her sponsor, she goes to the liquor store and buys a bottle of wine and a bottle of vodka. She drinks from both and passes out on the couch. When she wakes up, she sees that she urinated on the couch. She takes a shower and almost falls. The next morning, she calls her sponsor and Bob.

Pam is scared by the fact that she doesn’t exactly know why she drank, which means it can happen again. She decides to move into another apartment without the family’s history. Bob tells Pam about Matt’s case and the fact that Margaret’s nemesis, Avery Mason, got onto the church’s board.
