Susan is doing schoolwork that she describes to Libby as "mind- numbing". She looks a bit fed up and confesses to Libby that Karl has been doing lots of things with Sarah recently and she's been feeling a bit left out. She thinks it's ridiculous, but Libby thinks it's healthy - it's only natural to feel jealous when your husband is spending time with someone else. Libby says Karl had to find other things to do with his time while Susan was away, but everything will soon be back to normal.

SUSAN: I'm getting advice from my daughter.
LIBBY: Scary.
SUSAN: What would I do without you?!
LIBBY: Glad to help.
SUSAN: I've missed our talks this last couple of months.
LIBBY: Me too.
