You never cook during the week
Lily makes lasagna for dinner during the week because Judy is coming over and it's the first time she's joining them for dinner since Rick moved in. Apparently, Lily barely cooks during the week and so this is a surprise to everyone, including Rick.

I'm off dairy
Judy announces that she no longer eats dairy - after Lily tells her that they're having lasagna for dinner. There follows an odd conversation between Rick and Judy during which Judy goes on and on about the evils of dairy and that "we feed this to our children - they're humans, not cows!"

The Faint
While getting dressed for soccer practice, Jessie appears somewhat ill and distracted while Grace is talking to her. Then, after Grace leaves, Jessie passes out for a moment and quickly recovers. Her friend Megan, asks if she should call a teacher, but Jessie stops her.

The Call
After Judy finds out from Grace that Jessie passed out briefly at school, she (Judy) decided to call Karen and let her know. This proves awkward from two perspectives. First, Judy is not that comfortable with Karen during the conversation itself, then second, this becomes a source of anger for Lily who sees Judy as completely ignoring her relationship with Rick and preferring to deal with his ex-wife instead.

Confessions
Judy tells Jessie privately that she was bulemic in high school. This is also when Judy recommends the book "The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter". She comments that the book saved her life.

Time for a Change
After determining that the current approach doesn't work, Karen, Rick, and Dr Rosenfeld come up with an alternate approach - making Jessie's recovery like a job - rewarding work well done, and having consequences for work not done. Work in this case is eating.

Smothering
We see Karen be the overwhelming presence in Jessie's daily life - smothering her to the point that Jessie argues back, even telling her to "please get out of my room". This causes Karen to visit Dr Rosenfeld alone to apparently discuss her need to be in control.

The Ski Trip
The underlying event through all this is the need to go on the ski trip. Every other even triggers off this subtle need. In the earlier b/w Jessie tells of her first time skiing - a family trip where Rick put his skis outside hers and they went down the mountain together. This could be a reference to Season 1's TBD where Jessie mourns the break-up of the family and the way things used to be. The ski trip is the embodyment of the healing process. Where it once was the memory of the great family moment, it now is the moment of breaking free - this will be her first trip away from Karen, her first trip alone. This will be the symbol of real trust of her by both her parents.

The "other" upcoming event (besides a certain wedding) is the school ski trip. This would be a Spring-break getaway, right Midwesterners? That is, going skiing late March-ish?

Lily is cooking during the week(!!), and I think this may be a Wednesday. She references the wedding being five weeks away. Thursday afternoon, in the girls locker room, Grace asks Jessie if she can help at the book fair next Monday and Wednesday, and J agrees. Jessie blacks out momentarily.

Judy calls Karen that night, about Jessie; Rick and Karen go to see Rosenfeld on Friday. The towel-folding (Lily and Judy) could be that night, or the next... Grace and Jake are shopping, and I'm not sure why Lily should be concerned about Grace being late on a weekend, but.......

MONDAY -- Set up at the book fair; that night, Jessie has phone privileges revoked.

TUESDAY -- Lily lunches with Judy at BL and says Zoe would be "heartbroken" if she and Rick eloped. Lily asks Judy again if she, Judy, can go chapel-hunting Thursday. Next, Jess buying shoes with Rick, followed by appointment with Rosenfeld.

WEDNESDAY -- Book fair begins; Judy reveals her high school eating disorder to Jessie.

THURSDAY -- Judy is late to meet Lily the chapel. Rick brings Jessie home from a game, and urges Karen to let their daughter to on the trip. Fight scene between Jessie and Karen in J's room.

FRIDAY -- Rick visits Judy at BL; Karen visits Rosenfeld solo; Lily/Judy reunion at BL.

SATURDAY -- Ski trip departure -- Manning goodbyes to Grace, and Sammler goodbyes to Jessie.
