Pete gets a buzz that his sister-in-law (first, why haven't we seen HER yet and second, her name is "Judy"! Judy and Trudy, it explains so much!) is on the phone, but when he picks up he's unpleasantly surprised to learn that it's Beth, who tells him she needs to see him. He's annoyed, but gets on the intercom to send Clara down to the lobby for some Life Savers ("I want them fresh!" he snaps when she asks what's wrong with the ones in the machine) and then returns to snit that he guesses Beth suddenly remembered who he is thanks to their little meeting on the train. She tells him she'll be at the Hotel Pennsylvania under the name "Mrs. Campbell" and I'm ninety-nine percent sure Pete wouldn't have been dumb enough to book a place he and Trudy have stayed before. Ninety-nine percent. Pete childishly tells her he hopes she likes waiting, since that's what he did, as if she didn't tell him in all the ways English allows that she wasn't coming. She tells him this may be their last chance, but instead of trying to parse the cryptic statement, he slams the phone down. And it's cute the way he's trying to act like the chances of him going aren't greater than say, ninety-nine percent.
