Tonight the household is tense: Jessica is pregnant and too weak to sleep on the couch, so someone offers to sleep there with her. Mr. Lewis from Lewis Group arrives tomorrow; this project will decide the company’s future. Late, Ms. Muller’s belly pains and children shout for Dad to check. Dora is scolded for not making breakfast, insists she’s unwell, then tells Calvin, “It’s time for me to leave,” after eight years of feeling tossed aside. With the pregnancy emergency and Dora’s sudden exit, tomorrow’s crucial meeting is now at risk.
