Lily wanders out to the patio at Booklovers, where Judy is having a cigarette. Lily marvels at how nice the patio looks, and then nags that she wishes Judy would quit smoking. Judy curtly says she wishes she could, too. Lily confesses that, when Judy was born, she did a terrible thing. "You mean, when you tried to kill me with the ball?" Judy drawls, unimpressed. "You knew about that?" Lily gasps. Judy shrugs that their mother told her. Lily's disappointed at the theft of her thunder, and Judy jokes that the incident's not something she thinks about every day. Lily asks whether it's too late to apologize for it, and Judy says it isn't, but that she doesn't need Lily to do so. Lily pauses, and says, "I'm so sorry that I tried to kill you when you were a week old," and then adds that she wasn't really trying to kill her. Judy says that Lily was trying to kill her, but that she just has a weak arm: "You throw like a girl." "Thank God!" Lily exclaims. Judy snickers. There's a moment of silence, and then Lily quietly says that she can't believe she took Judy's idea without even realizing it: "I felt like I picked up that pink ball and threw it at you again. I obliterated you in my mind." Judy says that's exactly what she felt like. Lily apologizes again, very sincerely, and Judy says, "I know. I know." Lily tears up, and chokes, "Do you? Because I want us to be able to...I don't know, I want us --" Judy shuts her up by throwing her arms around her and murmuring, "I forgive you. Just keep those pink balls under lock and key from now on, okay?" Lily says she will, and laughs with relief, before asking, "Can I still use your idea?" "I thought you were fired!" Judy says. Perhaps this was the moment when Lily explained what happened with Crusty and Artie and the meeting. Perhaps we're to assume that Crusty reinstated Lily. Officially, we just don't know.
Grace trucks one of the computers...somewhere. From her bedroom, Zoe whines, "You can stop apologizing. I'm not always going to hate you." Grace asks why not, and Zoe says that it would be impractical, since Zoe might need something from Grace in the future: "Maybe I'm going to get my period." Grace opines that Zoe's kind of young for that. (These days? Not really.) Zoe asks her to confirm that the onset of her period would explain why she's been so emotional lately. Grace allows that it could be: "Or it could just be that I've been kind of mean." Zoe declares that, if she doesn't get her period by the next day, "that's it! [Grace is] mean." Grace retorts that Zoe is annoying, and Zoe counters by saying that Grace is selfish and stupid. Grace picks up a pillow and creeps into Zoe's room, saying that Zoe is a "loud-mouthed little pest." "Oh yeah?" says Zoe, her back to the door. "Yeah!" squeals Grace, pelting her with the pillow.
