Carol talks with Vera about the food she is preparing because Carol is concerned about her diet. Carol and Maggie talk a bit about food and exercise and Carol's problems with bulimia. This same conversation includes talk of men and relationships with them. Carol offers to and does give Maggie a makeover. These are private conversations.

Because this is an ensemble piece, some of the potentially qualifying dialog takes place in front of men. Maggie talks to Mary about the death of Mary's child. Sarah (a woman of color) apologizes to Maggie for complaining about the makeover results.
