Chapters 12-24 Summary

In the present, Erika learns that her mother, Sylvia, is doing poorly again and knows she must intervene.

Pam, Clementine’s mother, tries to help Clementine rebuild her relationship with Sam. Clementine and Sam attempt to have a date, but they both are still shaken by memories of the barbecue. Clementine talks to her mom afterward and says that she has no choice and will say yes to Erika’s request. Clementine is distressed about her and Sam’s loss of sexual connection, and she is reminded of the sexual guilt still lingering from the barbecue.

Tiffany notices that her family is not handling their distress over the barbecue well, and Dakota is punishing herself.

On the day of the barbecue, Erika takes anti-anxiety medication before Clementine and Sam arrive. She and Oliver tell their guests that they’ve been going through IVF. Clementine is surprised that they’d kept it a secret. Erika feels like she made a mistake in not confiding in Clementine and that as a result, she has put a bump in their friendship. Then, Erika and Oliver ask if Clementine will donate her eggs.
