While she states her support of the right to choose, Patricia's unhappy that she didn't tell her and thinks Elle really didn't put much thought into her decision. Elle counters that Patricia was off on a trip in Europe then. They argue, and Patricia apologizes to Elle for it, saying she was projecting her own feelings due to having had her unplanned too, while Elle's turned out to be such a smart, beautiful woman.

* {{Cult}}: Elle, after having a nervous breakdown, has been drawn into a therapeutic cult whose leader Omnira has her sell her condo to give her wellness center as a gift.

* MeetCute: Molly first met her girlfriend while dropping a book and nearly running into her.
