Morning guests arrive at Mrs. Carter's house. Celia and Libby chat with Mr. Holland and tease Celia's Uncle Gregory for supposedly taking the weekend off and 'getting old,' mocking his eyesight and fitness. The mood shifts when Celia realizes her uncle is actually sitting down to a full breakfast—remarkable because he usually lives on sandwiches and milk. Mrs. Carter brings homemade dumplings, sandwiches, and porridge and urges them to eat. Libby replies, "I love everything you make, Mrs. Carter." The episode closes with the family gathering at the table, the new morning routine left unresolved.
