Jane and Blair have brief exchanges about a tape in the editing room and then condolences toward the end of the film.

Passes, but just barely. Female lead who spends most of the time talking to men about men.

While watching a news segment on date rape, Blair whispers to Jane "my cousin Donna," and Jane says, "really?" Now this is sort of about a man--Blair is saying a man raped her cousin--but it's also an intimate albeit brief conversation between two women.
