When the network announces that her show is changing to a tabloid shock-fest, Rachel retreats home to try and figure out her next move. While there, Rachel reconnects with her old high school boyfriend, Mitchell, who is back in town working as a fourth-grade teacher. Mitchell shows her around town, reliving old times and enjoying each other’s company. Rachel fears that she will break Mitchell’s heart again if she doesn’t withdraw but it may be too late.”
