On arriving in Phoenix Suzette has a chance meeting with Vinnie's 18 year-old daughter Hannah (Erika Christensen) who, after some recreational drug use, passes out in Harry's hotel room. When she drives her back to her parents' elegant suburban home Suzette at first cannot believe what she sees: Vinnie, who now calls herself Lavinia Kingsley, leads the life of the perfect wife and mother -- a life which at one point prompts one of her daughters to ask Suzette, "Did she ever do anything wrong?"

In the end, both her husband and her two daughters have understood that Lavinia is only human after all.
