Harley considers whether to tell Cooper that Debbie found Cooper’s T-shirt in Harley’s bedroom. Harley realizes Debbie was suspicious, especially after smelling the shirt, but because Debbie said nothing, Harley hopes the secret may still be safe.

Harley also admits that she may have wanted Debbie to discover the shirt. Harley could have met Debbie elsewhere or hidden the shirt, but instead left it visible, finding Debbie’s near-recognition thrilling.

In the living room, Harley eats the salad Debbie brought and reflects briefly on her lack of close friends. Harley remembers losing touch with Mariah after insulting Mariah’s baby, then returns to her real motive for befriending Debbie: gathering information about Cooper while pretending not to care about him.

Harley steers the conversation toward Debbie’s husband, feigning forgetfulness about Cooper’s name and job. Debbie describes Cooper as an accountant, somewhat nerdy, poor with technology, nice, and a great father, but she responds guardedly and without warmth.

Harley pushes further by suggesting long marriages lose romance. Debbie admits only that marriage can be hard, which Harley interprets as evidence that Debbie and Cooper’s relationship has deteriorated. Harley becomes more convinced Cooper is “the one” and decides she must handle the situation carefully.
