When Thursday calls Seth, he tells her that he had been busy and mentions something about parents that she doesn’t quite hear. She realizes she’s never met Seth’s parents and tells him that they should go visit his family in Utah. Seth becomes angry and dismisses Thursday’s suggestion.

Thursday returns home thinking about Seth’s family with resentment. She wonders how it is possible for Seth’s mother to live with their husband’s other wives happily. She finds that all of the cards Seth’s parents have sent over the years are “generic” and are only signed with their names. She thinks back to all of the times that she was supposed to meet them and how they always had a reason for being unable to attend at the last minute.

Thursday decides to look at a new message from Regina. She says that her marriage ended mutually; she and her husband had wanted different things. Thursday feels that regardless of the reason, Regina is still actively cheating on Seth by pretending to be divorced. Thursday calls Regina’s law firm pretending to be a woman going through a divorce.
