As Joan gets back into clapping and cheering, she sneaks glances at Ted. She sees him talking to Sassy, his expression open and respectfully apologetic. The next time she glances over, Sassy is hugging him. Joan smiles, warmed by how Ted can address difficult situations with love and kindness.
"Where's Ted?" Keeley asks when the song is over, looking around.
"There was someone he wanted to talk to," Joan says. "He'll be back soon."
She glances over again and meets eyes with Sassy. She smiles and raises her drink to toast Joan. Joan returns the gesture.
