Mrs. Clementine Coleman froze, then blurted out, "Clementine, what's gotten into you?"
Clementine rolled around on the sofa, her voice tinged with anguish. "What am I going to do? She definitely doesn't like me anymore. What am I supposed to do..."
Suddenly, she sat bolt upright, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Mrs. Clementine Coleman. "Mom, since Auntie Jean wants them to get a divorce, why don't you help persuade them?"
"Persuade them to do what?"
"To get a divorce, of course," Clementine said gleefully. "If she doesn't have to worry about household chores, maybe she'll come by the set more often."
Mrs. Clementine Coleman was stunned into silence. It took her a long time to even begin to process the idea that her daughter might be gay.

On set, Renee Jennings came by to see Clementine as usual, taking the opportunity to check on the production of the film *Youth*.
