Elsewhere, Jen and Jack shop for dinner with Helen and Grams. Jack wonders why Helen is in town, and Jen tells him it's "a long story." She's sure that it will "unfold beautifully" at dinner (like, there's nothing more delightful than an Hey, Your Beloved Relative Has Cancer party), and she needs him there for moral support. Jack then very helpfully exposits that CJ is leaving the next day for grad school in New York City, and Jen is very "whatever" about that and then runs away to buy string beans. Jack looks perplexed.
