In bed, Frank's voice cuts out of the darkness: I saw you. At the wedding. Beth discovers how effortlessly she can lie. Tuesday brings the affair's second day, a slow rediscovery of two bodies that remember each other, talk of poetry and Louisa and Leo, and an afternoon of rummy around the kitchen table that feels dangerously like a borrowed family.
With the men at the pub, Nina bursts in to build a fire, pour wine, and share her news: she is now a woman without birth control. Beth realizes there is no one in the world she can tell her secret. On Wednesday she creeps into Meadowlands to surprise Gabriel and finds Flora Hughes of The Times at the kitchen table, a young journalist with sharp claws who senses some sort of history between them.
