The mother is clearly on Cooper’s side, but Billie insists it is her time with the children. Billie’s mother reminds her that the traditional mother provides consistency for children. When Cooper leaves, Billie is lectured by her mother — she tells her that Cooper is a good man and father and she should fight to get him back. 

Billie decides to defend herself, but her mother tells her that her sexual appetite has been a problem since she was young. But Billie refutes that claim and tells her mother she was brought up to feel shame and walks away.
