Lauren comes in and looks very guilty that Beth is moving out. Lou says he feels quite sorry for Beth.

Beth comes out of the bedroom with a packed bag and Lou goes off to take it to No.26 for her.

LAUREN: I guess 'I'm sorry' seems a bit lame. If I had known things would turn out this way...after the wedding, Brad was convinced you were never coming back. And then when you did, well, it was too late. We would have told you sooner but we didn't want to hurt you.

Beth just walks out without a word.
