At the hospital, Allie has had a doctor’s appointment for Henry and tells Kayla that Henry’s a year old and in the 98th percentile for height. She tells Kayla about not returning Tripp’s profession of love. Kayla tells Allie that saying I love you shouldn’t be a conditioned response. Allie worries if she asks for more time, she’d be asking Tripp for too much. He’s been so patient with her. He’s great with Henry. “Not to be crude,” she says, but he’s good-looking.
In the square, Tripp offers to help Chanel with a heavy box she’s carrying. He takes it into the bakery for her. She’s grateful since it’s a bread maker and is expensive. They get a drink and she shares that the reason Allie isn’t helping is that Henry had a doctor’s appointment. “I guess they had to change his oil and rotate his tires.” Tripp heard she found someone. Chanel admits she did and that they should have come into the Bistro. She’d have introduced them. Chanel admits that they went back to his place and things started to heat up but he didn’t have a condom so she left. “Wow,” Tripp says, surprised she told him all the dirty details. Chanel assumes Tripp’s happy about her new guy because it means she’s keeping her distance from his girlfriend. They agree that they both hate for things to be awkward because of their friendship. They agree to do a double date. “I promise not to stick you with the check this time.”
