Back at the Millers, Susan’s staring off into space, and it’s pretty clear poor Tim got nothin’. Lori is apparently planning on going to South America without telling anyone, and is surprised Susan’s home. She tells her mother about Doug, his friend and the poor people of Guatemala. It’s hard to tell if Susan thinks Lori is running away with Doug or not, but maybe she’s just too preoccupied to care much, which is not good. She tells her not to be gone too long, and Lori kisses her mom and says she’ll “be back before you know it.” After Lori leaves, the phone rings, and there’s no voice on the other end at first. Susan senses that it’s Roger, who knows he shouldn’t be calling, but couldn’t help it. he couldn’t get on the plane. He’s at the hotel by the airport. Might there be more than one of those in Chicago? Just sayin’. He asks her to meet him.
