Abe sees Joel, who is heavily intoxicated. He asks why Abe is drinking whiskey, and he tells him that her eating disorder is back. Cleo comes in wearing the red dress but seethes when she sees Abe with his arm around Theresa. Abe smooths things out with Cleo but then tells her that she is abusing her body.
