As the weather cools, Nancy and McG find fewer people when they go for their evening swim.
Nancy: We're going to have to start going to the Y, I think. The lake is downright frigid.
McG: If you'd like. I find the cold quite invigorating, myself.
Nancy: I'm so glad I found you to swim with. My husband prefers the home gym to keep in shape.
McG: Lee never was much of a swimmer. He always likes me in a bikini, though.
She's interrupted by a passing woman.
Charlotte: Mrs. Guinness? Is that you?
Nancy: Charlotte. I heard you'd moved back home. (To McG) Charlotte is a former student of mine.
McG: Charlotte Jackson? Gabriella's aunt?
Charlotte: You know Gabriella?
McG (coldly): I am Taylor Pike's grandmother.
McG: Rose-Grace is a busy woman and Mace is hardly country club material. I doubt you and they travel in the same circles, but I will tell them you send your thoughts.
Charlotte goes on her way and Nancy just stares at her friend for a moment.
McG: Have you not heard about that woman?
Nancy: You aren't being fair. Charlotte had a very rough life.
McG: So did Batgirl, but I don't see her treating her children as Charlotte treats hers.
Nancy: Charlotte has children? Do tell!

Hank Higgins, of Barbieville Real Estate, shows Pocahontas and John a few homes.
Hank: This rustic cabin on the shore of Muneca Lake has...
John: Sorry to interrupt, but I can already tell this house isn't for us. I might as well go home and drown Kelly in the bathtub.
Pocahontas: Really?!
John: Yes, really. We told him we have four kids.
Pocahontas: Not crazy about the white exterior.
John: Me, neither. But we can always paint. A few safety features around the pool is all I think we'd need here. The kids could even each have their own room.
John: Brick exterior, lots of light from the windows...
Pocahontas: Definite maybe.
John: I think we've seen enough for today, Hank. We'll have to put our heads together and talk to the kids before making a choice. I know it's our call, as the adults, but they...
Hank: I understand. I do have one more I'd like to show you today, if you have time?
Pocahontas: I love that tower entryway.
John: My girls would think we lived in a castle.
Pocahontas: Only three bedrooms, though. The girls would all have to share one.
The prospective buyers gone, Hank confers with the homeowner before finding a police cruiser parked behind his car.
Lynch: What are you doing? You know you aren't supposed to have contact with...
Hank: They came into my office! I couldn't exactly turn them out!
Lynch: You should have passed them over to another agent. Do it or the program will hear about this. We can't protect you if you keep doing things like this.
Hank: What do I tell the other agent for my reason?
Lynch: I honestly don't care.
