She's Not Sorry

Meghan picks up a call from her doctor about her recent mammogram while standing outside the restaurant where she’s meeting Nat. The doctor is worried about the results and wants Meghan to have another exam. Inside the restaurant, Meghan joins Nat, who seems frazzled. They talk about their work, and Nat commends Meghan’s difficult job. She then expresses her condolences about Bethany. When Meghan sees Nat’s bruise again, Nat explains that she’s clumsy and walked into a door in the middle of the night. They continue chatting about high school and their former classmates. Eventually, the conversation turns to Nat’s relationship, and Meghan asks about Nat’s ex-husband, Declan Roche. Nat admits that he has been cheating on her with a younger woman and is also abusive. However, because he’s a lawyer at Tanner & Levine, Nat feels incapable of reporting him. Suddenly, Nat’s behavior changes, and she insists that she has to leave to go help her sick friend.

On Meghan’s walk home afterward, she can’t stop thinking about what Nat told her. She remembers a former patient named Anne who had an abusive marriage. Meghan tried to help her, but Anne wouldn’t leave her husband, and he ultimately beat her to death.
