Chapter 11 Summary

An unexpected phone call awakens Andy early on a Saturday morning. Much to her surprise, it isn’t Miranda. Andy’s parents have come to help her move out of her tiny apartment. Lily managed to find a place that isn’t roach-infested with an actual balcony for a reasonable price. When she calls Andy to give her the good news, Andy can barely finish the conversation to approve the lease before Miranda begins harassing her. Lily is understandably upset that she must handle all the details because Andy is so afraid of Miranda that she can’t spare a moment to help her friend.

By moving day, they’ve ironed out all the details, though Lily is absent during the move. Alex informs Andy that Lily was arrested the night before for indecent exposure after getting very drunk. Lily later tells Andy that she didn’t want to bother her friend to bail her out because Andy is always so busy at work.

Back at the office, Andy receives a rude phone call from a woman named Judith Mason. She is the stuttering, abrasive travel writer for Runway and impudently asks if Andy is disenchanted with her job yet. Andy gives her a tart response, which seems to make Judith like her.
