Andrew and Nina head to a fertility specialist after a week of hopeful planning, even discussing converting the guest room into a nursery. While they are gone, Millie watches Cecelia, who acts out over a “bologna” versus “abalone” sandwich and throws food on the carpet.

Andrew and Nina return visibly distraught. When Millie asks if everything is okay, Nina snaps, berates Millie for the small mess, and threatens her job before storming upstairs with a headache, signaling that the appointment went badly.

Alone with Millie, Andrew admits the consultation confirmed Nina will not get pregnant. He is disappointed but resolves to be strong for Nina, acknowledging how much he loves Cecelia while mourning the loss of his dream for another child.

Seeking a way to lift Nina’s spirits, Andrew asks Millie to get dates from Nina and book orchestra seats to the show Showdown. He thanks Millie, apologizes for Nina’s temperament, and Millie quietly commits to doing what she can to keep the peace and her job.
