Myrene begins to notice there is a problem in her family when her husband expresses his sadness that they have not become what they set out to be. Her son, Phillip, is upset that he can't have a pet dog in the apartment they live in. Her husband, Del, is sad that they don't live in a proper house. Myrene also starts to see how she has prioritized social events over church. After this realization, Myrene realizes that they need to change their life. She asks Del to go house hunting, and they are both excited for a future they agree on.
