The Better Sister

Chloe Taylor reveals that 14 years earlier, she “betrayed” her sister by agreeing to help her brother-in-law, Adam Macintosh, get custody after Nicky almost drowned their baby son. Four years later, Chloe married Adam. Ten years after that, she discovered Adam’s dead body.

Chloe is the chief editor of the successful “feminist-oriented” magazine Eve and is about to receive an award for her “#Them Too” publishing campaign. Inspired by the #MeToo movement, the series of articles exposed the sexual abuse and harassment that many ordinary women face in the workplace.

Chloe’s attorney husband, Adam, joins her for an interview. Chloe is uncomfortable when the reporter asks Adam how it feels to be married to such a successful wife, but her husband talks glowingly of her achievements. When they get home, Chloe expresses her gratitude to Adam and calls the interview “stupid.” Although exhausted, she does not object when Adam initiates sex, recalling how she once wrote an article presenting twice-weekly sex as the best way to preserve a marriage. Adam tells Chloe that he may be late for the awards ceremony the following evening, as he needs to meet with a client from the Gentry Group near JFK Airport.
