Fixing Things

Helen goes to meet the woman that her husband left her for, and finds the woman completely unrepentant. The woman dismisses her, filling her with rage.

A few days later, she waylays the woman and beats her. She is stunned when she, and not the other woman, is arrested.

She has to phone her husband, and he sees to it that she gets out of jail, but leaves her there once she is free, instead of taking her home, as she expects. She goes home, feeling like a victim, but her cousin tells her to get over it, and get a job.

She starts looking for one and gets it. Her husband returns, she is not sure that she still wants him. Their tense relationship makes everyone in the home uncomfortable. Her husband is upset by the children's lack of enthusiasm for him.

Helen works on making sure that her husband's accusation that she is an unfit mother does not hold water.
