News of Davis' impending arrival on Nantucket is soon followed by troubles for Helen: a friend drops by in need of a sympathetic ear, a quick trip to the gym results in a black eye and the chlorine reacts with the highlights in her hair. Then a skin rash appears which turns out to be poison ivy. While Lowell is having trouble cooking dinner, Roy shows up with his pals to get a picture of Stella in the buff and hopefully have her sign it. All of this before Davis even is expected.
