Granny Torrelli gives each of the children a bit of dough, and they roll it into snakes. At Grandma’s urging, Rosie puts her hands over Bailey’s to show him how to form the dough. Rosie’s anger abates. She thinks both good and terrible things, and she enjoys watching Bailey and never wants him to leave. She also wants the snakes to slither over to Janine’s house. Granny Torrelli then encourages Rosie to show Bailey how to make cavatelli. She puts her hands over his and shows him how to make the pieces into little canoes. The kitchen and Rosie feel calm.

It is time to make the sauce, and Granny Torrelli gathers all of the ingredients. Rosie asks her grandmother to continue telling them the story about Violetta.
