Back at the cottage, Maya slips into the bathroom where Rocky hears running water masking faint gagging—morning sickness Rocky now recognizes. Rocky climbs into bed with Willa, who appreciates the cozy safety of family together during the thunderstorm. Maya joins them, then Nick and Jamie, all piling onto the bed in a familial spooning scene. Jamie poses a hypothetical about happiness pills, prompting Willa to remind him she and Rocky already take antidepressants.

Rocky and Nick retreat to the loft for word puzzles. Nick briefly asks if Maya is okay; Rocky brushes him off, noting his limited curiosity about emotions. This triggers a flashback to the same bed, years earlier, when Rocky told Nick she was unexpectedly pregnant with Willa. She recalls her exhaustion, captivity, and resentment at Nick's reflexive "we'll make it work," along with intrusive thoughts about her children dying and fantasies of escape into sleep.

In the present, the family eats a big breakfast-lunch and plans the rainy day: Catan for Jamie, the Ladies' Library book sale for Willa and Maya. Rocky drafts a grocery list for a lobster dinner. At the cavernous basement book sale, each person browses their preferred sections. Rocky avoids the Pregnancy section to protect Maya's secret, then mocks a menopause self-help book that omits vaginal atrophy.

Everyone buys something small. On the drive home, Willa administers Myers-Briggs tests and Rocky generalizes that the family's women feel while the men reason, irritating Jamie. She admits she feels constantly angry, and Willa quotes Rocky's old parenting line back to her: difficulty doesn't excuse not doing the work. Nick takes her hand, Willa wedges her foot between theirs, and Rocky's request for alone time is laughingly denied.
