Carol puts on a big front, telling the boss lady that she’s like the loving “den mother” of the group, that she loved her husband and is a “people person.” Carol’s session with Deanna is the most interesting because it’s total BS. Meanwhile, our other survivors go through the interview process. (We later learn that Jessie has a husband). And Rick meets a cute blonde woman named Jessie (a potential love interest?) who used to be a stylist and offers to cut his hair.

We learn that it’s a former planned community with home prices starting in the low $800,000’s.
