Julie tells Don that he has to understand they're only mates. Alma hates the thought that Jackie thinks she broke their marriage up. She doesn't like being hated by anyone. Percy makes a meal of packing his bags. Emily tells him that she doesn't understand why he's going; he's a friend and she needs friends. She asks him to stay and he agrees. Don finds he can relax with Julie, he can't with Ivy. He kisses Julie but she stops him; she's going through it all again. Tracy is annoyed when Emily forgets her skirt. Percy tries to cover for her, saying he must have covered it up. Jim tells Liz that he can't afford to employ Steve anymore. Alma calls on Jackie to make her see that she never committed adultery.
