Lauren, Rachel, and Leslie work with Natalie to throw a baby shower. While making the preparations, Leslie and Lauren talk about love and marriage, and Leslie shares details about her relationship with Bill. She has never wanted to remarry and only wants romance in her life. She doesn’t want to commit to Bill because she knows that their relationship might not work out. As Lauren reflects on Leslie’s revelation, she wonders if she wants to resume her life with Ryan or if she’ll miss never having a first kiss again. Then they change the subject because Lauren looks sad.
