Aware of the strong physical attraction between her sister and Art, Lauri suppresses her own desire for the writer and arranges for her sister to be with Art by persuading Vera, apparently frigid, to attend group therapy sessions run by her ex-school friend Jennifer, a lesbian. Art however, rejects Nan's obvious advances, unaware that by this time his wife, seemingly happier, has been drawn into lesbianism.
