In her hotel room, Aunt Paulina looks at her reflection and thinks she looks gorgeous. Val arrives and Paulina gives her a “Fairy Godmother” t-shirt. Val’s touched and Paulina gushes about how happy she is to be a godmother and how she and Val will ensure the babies have everything they need. Val doesn’t look as though she wants to tell Paulina any of this but she reveals that Julie thought she was going to be the godmother. Paulina says she’s the baby’s namesake. Some people want it all. Val’s gentle when she tells Paulina how Julie’s Eli’s grandmother. They wanted to ask her. Paulina looks crushed and says Julie’s no spring chicken. How’s she going to be Jules’ spiritual guide? Val says they still want her. Paulina’s grateful Val told her and quickly says she’ll be alright. She can’t go. It’ll be too humiliating. Val begs but Paulina pretends she’s far too busy anyway.
