The Things We Do For Love

Angie and Conlan kiss and talk. He questions how she could have changed so suddenly, but Angie emphasizes that it has taken time to realize how selfish she was. Conlan stays the night. The next morning, Angie suggests that he take the day off or come back once he feels ready, but Conlan says no. At the restaurant, Angie worries about why Lauren has missed work again and tries to contact her. Maria comments that Lauren has a mother, so Angie decides to wait one more day before doing anything.

At school, Lauren feels like an outsider even with David. She learns from her guidance counselor, Mrs. Detlas, that David told his coach about the baby. Mrs. Detlas is worried about David’s opportunity at Stanford and claims that no pregnant girl has ever graduated from Fircrest. Hinting that Lauren’s scholarship could be revoked, she instructs Lauren to transfer to West End High. Back in class, Lauren is angry that David revealed their secret. When she confronts him, however, David reveals that his father will not talk to him, and Lauren softens.

That afternoon, Mrs. Mauk regretfully tells Lauren that she cannot stay alone in the apartment. Upstairs, Lauren is contemplating her future when Angie arrives.
