Barbieville Grocery. The store's pretty empty, considering it's stop-after-work time. Rose-Grace is eyeing the produce in clearance aisle.
PJ: How's Candy?
Rose-Grace: Well, she's back on her feet, but pretty depressed about the possible permanent damage to the knee. So much of her career is built on going into war-torn areas or jungles, places a bum leg can get you killed.
PJ (winces in sympathy): My knees give me trouble, and I'm just a dentist. In a handicap-friendly building. How are the kids holding up? James's boys are a mess.
Rose-Grace: I don't think we should be discussing the case, not with the trial pending. But we're all just grateful Candy survived.
PJ: I've always envied you about her. You make co-parenting look so easy. Charlie - well, the less said there the better.
Rose-Grace: That's all Candy. She accepted when they divorced that he, as custodial parent, would be calling the shots. Sometimes we have to badger her just to get input.
PJ: Boudicca took a leave of absence from the hospital. I wish I could tell her we don't hold any of this against her.
Rose-Grace: Zenobia has been very quiet when she comes over for rehearsal. The band finally decided to take a break until all this passes.
PJ: Probably for the best, really, at least as far as the trial is concerned. We don't need that lawyer accusing us of plotting together.
