At a small party Libby arranged, guests praise the food and assume a top chef was hired. Libby admits she booked a house-call cook for the night — the impressive cook turns out to be Celia’s mother, Mrs. Carter, who reveals she runs her own cooking business and hands out contacts. Guests eagerly invite her to future events, and Celia and Libby grow closer. Mrs. Carter declines to stay overnight. Later Libby, who filed for divorce, lies awake doubting why Reece cheated and fears she might be "just a pretty face," leaving her uncertain how to move forward.
