Andie reaches out to a longtime friend late in the evening, and the morning finds Lizzie’s husband Peter stumbling upon Andie as she has breakfast alone. The film drifts into a tense, emotionally charged couples therapy session with Doctor Grayson, where Peter vents that Andie knew Leslie planned a fourth IVF before he did, and Andie counters that their efforts have yielded little progress and left her feeling worn down.
