FISHER HOME

The cap on her bottle of water seems to hold some great interest for Molly, who is very intently unscrewing it.

"Molly," Paula says a little more insistently. "Did you--"

"Sarah ended that marriage herself," Molly cuts in suddenly. "She slept with Matt and then she lied about her pregnancy and about Victoria."

Paula is a little taken aback by the force in Molly's voice. After a moment of quiet reaction, she says, "Sarah certainly made some mistakes, but ..."

"But nothing! She's the one responsible for her marriage falling apart."

"So you mean to tell me," Paula says, tilting her head suggestively, "that if Sarah hadn't made those mistakes, everything would be perfectly fine in her marriage to Brent?"

Now it is Molly's turn to be caught off-guard. She toys with the water bottle again, screwing the cap back on. "I'm not sa--No, of course not. Every marriage has problems. And if Sarah didn't make the mistakes she made, what's to say she wouldn't make some other ones?"

"Nothing, I suppose," Paula admits with a half-shrug. "But the mistakes she did make -- why did she make them?"

"Because--" Molly appears to be choking on the words as her face turns a darker shade of pink. Her hands have turned into tightly bound fists and she raises one as she blasts, "Because she's Sarah! Everyone's making her out to be some kind of victim--"

"And who's 'everyone'?"

Molly closes her eyes, keeping herself from a further outburst. She ungrits her teeth and tries to relax her hands.

"Look," she finally says, "I don't--I can't talk about this right now." And she is out of the room and headed up the stairs before Paula can react.
