The Humans

Brigid listens from the top of the stairs as Richard asks her parents about a cruise they went on. Deirdre and Erik explain how they like the rigid schedule of the cruise and what it offers. Richard tells them how he likes more spontaneity in his trips. The conversation makes Brigid sad, and she decides to return downstairs. As she does, she passes Erik, who tells her that he is going to check the score of a football game by the window, the only spot in the apartment that has cell reception.

Momo spills her Ensure shake, and Brigid, Deirdre, and Richard scramble to clean it up. Richard goes upstairs to find paper towels and sees Erik at the window. Erik sees ashes floating down and seems unsettled. He tells Richard that he is worried about snow making the drive home difficult, but Richard assures him that it isn’t snow; someone from above them emptied their ashtray. Richard finds the paper towels and returns downstairs. Meanwhile, Aimee comes out of the bathroom and makes a phone call, not noticing Erik.

Aimee calls her ex-girlfriend, Carol, to wish her a happy Thanksgiving. She tries to have a conversation but seems to keep getting cut off.
