Capítulo 28 de 30 · 3'06"
CC and Hillary play cards and trade memories of the loft, one-upping each other until the teasing turns tender: "I know everything there is to know about you, and my memory is long." Then Victoria packs for a CC Bloom concert in LA, and the afternoon ends with her calling out for her mother, who does not get up.
CC and Hillary Play Cards
CC and Hillary play cards at the beach house, needling each other and remembering their first Christmas at the loft. Hillary accuses CC of stretching the truth; CC answers that her memory is long, and Hillary says she is counting on it. Victoria packs for a trip to Los Angeles, and as she looks for her bag she finds her mother collapsed.
The card game is a ritual, and both women know it is one of the last. Their banter is competitive and affectionate at once: CC brags that Hillary will never beat her, Hillary accuses her of stretching the truth, and CC's reply — "my memory is long" — is both a joke and a promise that she will not let their history go. Hillary's "I'm counting on it" turns the joke into a quiet bargain between old friends. Then the film cuts to the ordinary business of a child packing for a concert, which sharpens the loss: Victoria is going to see CC perform, her mother is helping her get ready, and in the middle of it her mother collapses. The chapter that began with laughter and old memories ends with a child calling, "Please get up, Mom!"
