After Riley’s interview, the Murphy family is upset, but Jenny can see the pain on her friend's face, and she feels torn with sympathy for Riley and the reminder that she, her husband, and their unborn child’s futures are at risk. At the doctor's, Jenny learns that she is having a son, and she knows his name will be Chase. She also learns that stress is affecting her pregnancy, and she may have preeclampsia. Jenny receives a text from Riley checking in about the appointment, but she doesn’t respond, upset that if things were normal, Riley would be with her, she wouldn’t be stressed, and her pregnancy wouldn’t be at risk. She thinks about how thankful she was that Riley loaned her the money for the last round of IVF. Kevin didn’t want to take the money, but they did. Jenny felt like she was failing as a wife even though Kevin’s infertility kept them from getting pregnant.
