Phil, Julie, Fiona and Jim have finished their sushi. Julie goes into the kitchen to help Fiona. Julia is upset that Fiona wants to use one of Helen's antique plates to serve the meal.
FIONA: Ah yes, but with your grandmother not here tonight, I'm the lady of the house, aren't I!
JULIE: Not for long.
FIONA: Ah, that's where you're wrong, Julie. Your grandmother made it quite clear that if I stayed, she'd move out. And I'm quite certain Jim doesn't want me to go anywhere.
(Later)

JULIE: Dad, can't you see!? This woman is doing her best to break up our family!
JIM: She's doing no such thing.
JULIE: How can you be so blind?!
JIM: Stop it.
PHIL: Simmer down, Julie.
JULIE: Look, look at her! Can't you see what she is? Neither of you heard what she said in the kitchen. She plans to kick Gran out of the house.
FIONA: You misunderstood! I just said that Helen might move out. Meaning that, although we wouldn't want it that way, she might be happier in a place of her own.
JIM: Julie?
JULIE: I suppose it could be interpreted that way, but it's not the way she said it.
FIONA: Oh Jim, I can't win. It does seem no matter what I do, Julie just doesn't like me.
JULIE: You can say that again.
FIONA: I'd better go.
JIM: No, Fi...
FIONA: I'm not going to come between you and your daughter.
PHIL:(to Julie) Now see what you've done?
FIONA: Goodbye, Jim.
She leaves.
JIM:(to Julie) Satisfied?
