Nick’s house Nick is in the kitchen stirring something on the stove. There’s a knock at the back door, and it’s Lulu. He lets her in. She explains that her father showed up at her place needing a place to stay, and that she’s let him. But she’s not comfortable with him, so could she stay the night at his place?
Nick says sure, she can have the spare room. After all, they’ve talked it over, they’re adults.

The Bedroom Nick and Lulu are in bed, both breathing hard, lying side by side as if they’ve just rolled apart. Lulu comes out of the passion fog and gets up, saying she’s going to a hotel. As she starts to get dressed she tells Nick that she’s just not good at this “just sex” thing.

Nick, sitting up in bed, states “You were the one going to Berkeley.”
Lulu: “But I stayed, I’m here in Pittsburgh.”<br> Nick: “Because Alvin got fired and you took the job.”<br> Lulu: “No, I stayed because of you, because of us, to give us a chance.”<br> Nick: “Then move in.”<br> Lulu: “What?”<br> Nick: “Move in with me.”<br>

Jake’s parents’ house Jake shows up to check on his mother. When he lets himself in, he finds her on the sofa, still in her robe, wrapped up in a quilt watching Oprah. After a bit of inane small-talk, he tries to get her to talk about the divorce. She tells him that sometimes things work out, sometimes they don’t. She confesses to him that as she and his dad married when she was young, she’s never lived alone and she doesn’t know what to do. Jake offers to move back in for a little while to keep her company.

Actually, I kind of saw them headed in that direction, Spunky. I mean, in order to stay "uninvolved" emotionally. Obviously, it didn't work.

LSP Nick is in the lobby getting coffee. Lulu’s new assistant, Robert Bridge, comes over, introduces himself, and tells Nick he’s late, that the meeting started twenty minutes ago. Nick heads over to the conference room. The last of the employees present is telling everyone a little about herself, about how she’s been working for children ever since she returned to Pittsburgh.

Lulu quickly explains to Nick that while they’ve all worked together for a while, they don’t really know each other. Nick takes a deep breath and introduces himself. “I’m Nick. I got busted for possession, and instead of going to jail I got sentenced to community service at this place.”
