Peggy gets up to find Dawn already gone, but finds a note -- set right on the purse for good guilty measure -- thanking her for her hospitality and apologizing for putting her out. I want to throw up watching it, so I can only imagine how she feels...

...and then we cross-fade into a sad but lovely shot; Gail, curled up on the side of Joan's bed, asleep, Kevin in the middle, and Joan, watching him with worry in her eyes. We switch to an overhead shot as she turns onto her back and stares up at the ceiling, and for one final gut-punch, "He Hit Me (It Felt Like A Kiss)" kicks up as we cut to credits. Assuming I've recovered by then, I'll see you next week.
