At
the pharmacy, Russell and D.C. get into a disagreement about a watch
D.C. tries on that breaks before he has a chance to buy it. Grace
runs into Bev, Quentin’s girlfriend’s mother, at the pharmacy. Bev
tells her she’s feeling suffocated in her marriage; being rich isn’t
that great. Grace has a hard time relating to Bev’s problems. Grace
is at home being driven crazy by Libby’s trumpet practicing when
Bev comes by and announces she’d like to stay with Grace for a while
to get back to her middle class roots. Grace agrees to let her,
though Quentin’s upset to have to live under the same roof with
his girlfriend’s mother. It soon becomes clear that Bev is having
as much trouble adapting to life at the Kellys as they are having
her there. She takes two showers in the morning and depletes all
the hot water and uses four towels a day. Grace thinks Bev could
solve all her problems with an honest talk with her husband, but
Bev disagrees. Grace takes Bev out to a bar to show her how dismal
single life for a woman her age can be.
