Kate calls Lucy. She feels as though her life has grown stale. Lucy suggests she plan a vacation alone with her husband, Tom. Lucy thinks later that her life with Darren had gotten a little stale, too, and that could be dangerous.

A little after Liam turns two, the whole family becomes sick. At the same time, Darren is negotiating a tough deal at work. Lucy is annoyed when Darren dumps all the care of the kids on her. She crawls into bed with the sick children late one night and thinks about Gabe, convinced he would not expect her to care for the kids alone, especially when she is sick, too. Later, she dreams about him and how perfect their life together would be.

Lucy feels that she is failing to live up to the expectations Darren had of her before they married because she continues to make her career a priority. She is unhappy with this part of her life but also admits there have been happy times, too. Yet when Lucy sees an unfamiliar woman’s name, Linda, in Darren’s phone, she jumps to the conclusion that he is having an affair. She questions him, but her suspicion grows when he fails to give her a realistic explanation for Linda’s name in his phone.
