She finally closes the fridge and goes to the counter, swigging the drink from the bottle. I can't tell what's on the t-shirt under her leather vest, but I suspect it reads, "Kiss me, I'm an iconoclast" (tm joshleejosh). Kevin says he can't tell her too much about the lawsuit; his parents are handling it: "They don't tell me much." Lily stops drinking and says, "Wait a minute. You don't know anything about a lawsuit in which you're named, even though the accident was -- just a guess -- the most important event of your life?" Hmm. I believe Lily would be that blunt and direct, but I feel like the writer took us there just a little too fast. Kevin, bristling slightly: "Okay, now you're being too nosy." Lily: "No, it's just -- I mean -- you're twenty, and a reporter. How do you turn off interest in your own life?" Kevin just stares at her. Lily backs off: "You're right. None of my business." Helen arrives at this point and sees that they've met. She doesn't pick up on the awkwardness. I actually like the idea of Lily and Kevin together; I think they have chemistry, and Kevin seems to like older women. I also have to suspect there's a reason Lily's search for a man who wouldn't mind her smoking was mentioned earlier. We saw Kevin smoke last year, though I don't think he's a regular smoker. But why bring that up at all, if it's not remotely relevant? It just stuck out too much to be random.
