Smoke on the Daughter

Als Sean Claudia im Garten beim heimlichen Rauchen erwischt - obwohl sich beide aus R ücksicht auf die Kinder das Qualmen abgewöhnt haben - erklärt ihm diese ihren Rückfall mit ihrem stressigen Job. Doch Sean ist unnachsichtig und verlangt von Claudia, dass sie sofort wieder damit aufhört. Einzig Ex-Raucher Walt hat Verständnis für Claudia. Als Claudia immer süchtiger zu werden droht, verspricht sie schließlich, sich das Rauchen endgültig abzugewöhnen - koste es, was es wolle!

During a stressful day at work, Claudia takes a puff of a co-worker's cigarette which quickly turns into an entire cigarette and then a daily habit. Desperate to keep her smoking habit from Sean and the kids, Claudia tries her best to smoke without being found out, but is busted by Lily. Lily makes a deal with her - she won't say anything if Claudia will get her a cell phone and Claudia agrees. Sean thinks that Claudia's bizarre behavior lately has something to do with him, prompting him to buy her the expensive armoire Claudia was admiring recently at the flea market. When her quest for a cigarette leads to her digging through the trash and landing outside Brad O'Keefe's window, she realizes she has hit a new low and swears off her habit. Meanwhile, after setting a date with Dean on her new cell phone, Lily is humiliated to find out Dean heard her gushing about him when the phone didn't turn off.

Sean est furieux quand il découvre que Claudia s'est remise à fumer. Il l'est encore plus quand il apprend que Lily était au courant et qu'elle faisait chanter sa mère en échange de son silence.
