Scene where Kassie meets Roland and shows him a picture of the child, whose donor she thinks he is. But in reality, things are different: at Kassie's party celebrating her impending motherhood, Wally, while intoxicated, accidentally replaces Roland's sperm with his own. Kassie does not regret her choice of Roland, as she was initially looking for a suitable genetic material donor, not a life partner. However, as the plot develops, it becomes clear that the real connection and emotional support come from Wally, her best friend.
