At Karen's next party, Marshall finds himself fondly remembering his time hanging out with Aggie and Nick, playing Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Karen responds to his request for a parlour game with a patronizing suggestion that he do so with the "brainiacs" in another room. She also disregards his own suggestion that she disassociate herself from Charlotte. The chapter, and the arc, ends with a tearful Karen staring at her ant farm, a former hobby of hers. In the glass, she sees an image of her pre-makeover self, smiling compassionately at her.
