From Bob Miller’s perspective, the family house feels hostile and stripped of his presence, with photos of him replaced by images of Sarah Morgan and their daughter Summer. Despite anticipating Sarah’s displeasure, Bob waits with a fourteenth bouquet of roses, hoping to mend the relationship and keep up appearances for Summer.

Sarah arrives with groceries. Bob tries to help and offers the roses, which Sarah immediately throws in the trash. As Sarah begins preparing spaghetti and meatballs—food Bob dislikes—he pushes for a private conversation about their marriage, while she insists they should not talk without lawyers present. He asks to explain his affair, calling it a drunken mistake he barely remembers, but Sarah says there is nothing to explain and reiterates her decision to divorce.

The tension escalates as Sarah chops an onion with increasing force. Bob moves closer, pleading that it will not happen again and asking her to consider Summer. Sarah replies that thinking of Summer is why she filed quietly. When Bob reaches for her hand, Sarah jerks away; the knife slices his palm. She offers a towel with a cold “accident” remark and tells him to clean up the blood, maintaining a detached demeanor.

Bob continues to argue that he will not give up on their marriage, while Sarah counters that he eventually will. Summer runs in asking to swim, and a brief distraction follows as Sarah manages a boiling pot and teases about “bad words.” Summer notices Bob’s bleeding hand, calls it “gnarly,” and runs for the first aid kit. Sarah returns to cooking, adding meatballs and ignoring Bob’s plea for acknowledgment, underscoring that only Summer shows him affection.
