After Ken told him about his confrontations with Laura and Janet, Dru suggested his absence might ease the situation for everyone. Dru suggested that Lee do everything she can to move past her resentment toward Pat. John admitted to Dru that he cares more for Pat with each passing day despite Jim's promise to keep the two apart. Pat made a closer move to John physically while Lee cried in Dru's arms over her father's distance from her.
