After Rosie’s rejecting reaction they have a small argument then Monica brings up the support group topic, she thinks it’d be helpful for Rosie if she talked about her struggles with opening up and having sex. Rosie spends the evening alone in her apartment. She kills time with having alcohol, watching stupid videos on her phone and masturbation in her bed. The next day she goes to the support group where she meets with Frida, the cold-smiled therapist, Hazel who had a bad experience with a chicken and David who also has problems with opening up and having sex. When David mentions that he plans to go to an orgy Rosie gets shocked about the idea. In the end of the session she wants to talk with David, but when Frida interrupts her, she shies away. Eventually Rosie decides to go to the orgy where she meets with David and they sleep together.The next day when Rosie has lunch with Monica again she realizes that something is still not right, and although she was looking for physical connection, what she actually need was emotional touch. After this Rosie decides to go back to the support group where she tells David about her thoughts and asks him out.
