Randall asked Beth to come to a dinner at the City Council President’s house. It was very important to Randall’s agenda to get on certain committees. Beth initially agreed but wanted to back out after her boss invited her to drinks with the more established instructors. Randall explained how important it was for him, but Beth didn’t show up. She didn’t respond to his texts or his calls, so he left her a voice message that belittled her work and aspirations.

When Beth finally arrived at the dinner, she explained how her phone battery died while she was stuck in traffic. She played along at dinner, but once it was over, Beth revealed that she had heard the message. She wanted him to sleep at his office, but he went home to fight about it.
