In the restaurant's ladies' room, Mitzi proceeds to tell Jamie the story of the death of her longtime best friend, her pig, the story which includes the new wrinkle that the pig spoke to her before he died. Meanwhile out in the dining booth, Bondurant tells William that he is in love... not with Mitzi, but with Jamie, this news which is passed along to both Mitzi and Jamie when they emerge from the ladies' room. The one person seemingly nonplussed by the news is Mitzi. In private, she later divulges to Jamie the reason partly for her reaction is a secret that she has been keeping, that secret which she has not yet told Bondurant and which she probably will not tell him based on her belief that he has been accepted into Julliard. Bondurant has told another story to William about Julliard, which leads to them breaking into Massey Hall for some emotional comfort. With Mitzi and Jamie alone at the apartment while the boys are off at the theater, Mitzi concludes the story of her pig, the... Written by Huggo

Mitzi, Jamie, Bondurant and William meet nine year old brother and sister Gogol and Margaret Atwood, who have just been abandoned by their parents who left them $65 for care and feeding. The reason for Gogol and Margaret's abandonment: they are day kids, who will age a lifetime in twenty-four hours. Beyond the rapid aging, day kids also have extraordinary intuition. Although the four do not come to any conclusion in their discussions about what to do about Gogol and Margaret, they can't help but be ensconced in their lives, trying to make their one day as special as possible by indulging their often strange requests, or die trying. As Gogol and Margaret experience exhilaration and heartbreak, Mitzi, Jamie, Bondurant and William may come to some conclusions about their own lives, some of those conclusions which may have to be pointed out to them by wiser older people that have experienced a lifetime in one day.

Bondurant comes to the realization that despite the sex still being good, that something is not quite meshing between him and Mitzi, the most obvious manifestation to him being that they are no longer climaxing at exactly the same time, which they always did in previous sexual encounters together. Without telling the other, each deep down believes the problem may be the secret they are keeping from the other. After what William believes was another in their amazing sexual encounters together, Jamie finally divulges to him that she has never yet reached orgasm with him, despite she not seeing it as being a problem as she still enjoys their sexual encounters.

It's the Thanksgiving weekend. Mitzi and Bondurant are spending the weekend at Bondurant's father's cabin in rural Manitoba. Mitzi hearing some strange noises outside leads to Bondurant confessing to her some information about both his parents, previous information that he had passed along about them not being totally truthful. With this information in hand, Mitzi and Bondurant may eventually learn that there is perhaps a bigger picture to why they are back in Manitoba at this time. Meanwhile, Jamie leads William on a mysterious physical journey to what is a special event being held in his honor for those largely in literati to praise his book. Largely in speaking to another event guest named Roman Roman and watching William objectively from afar, Jamie may get a better perspective of the state of their relationship in the process.

Bondurant rushes into the diner - where Jamie now works following her journey of relationship self-discovery about what she believes William thinks about her - to confront William upon Mitzi's chemical-induced confession that she and William recently had sex with each other. Bondurant does not know, however, that Mitzi and William's sexual encounter was largely revenge sex on their mistaken belief that Bondurant and Jamie recently had sex with each other, which Mitzi now knows did not happen, but which she has failed to tell William. In the mêlée, the truth of Bondurant and Jamie's sexual history is revealed. Other truths come to light, including with relation to Jamie and William's book, and about Mitzi's pregnancy and abortion, which leads not only to the question if either couple's relationship can survive, but whether the friendship between the four can survive. William in particular asks his father for advice on the matter, Mr. Wilson's extreme response which is solely meant to ... Written by Huggo

It's been three weeks since the revelations surfaced that strained Mitzi, Jamie, Bondurant and William's collective friendship. Each of the four sees his and her own life in a clearer sense, each message about their life delivered in a different way. Bondurant receives an official perspective on his trumpet playing, which isn't quite from the source he believes. Jamie, who has been dating Roman Roman, sees her life in his sculpture. While William tries to write a letter to Jamie expressing what he believes to be his true feelings while contemplating suicide using one of the dueling pistols given to him by his father, William is shocked into the reality of the situation. And Mitzi sees karma in a milkshake. With these situations at the forefront of their individual thoughts, the four may converge again for good or bad as Mitzi goes into labor. Written by Huggo
