==Summary==
Joe and Hannah are at the Mormon Visitor's Center. Hannah complains that Joe has not returned her calls for a month. They begin to argue, and Joe says Hannah "sort of brings the desert" with her wherever she goes. Joe leaves and Prior enters. Prior asks about Joe, and Hannah begins speaking with him about homosexuality. Prior becomes very sick. Hannah takes Prior to St. Vincent's Hospital.
Joe visits his mother at the Visitor's Center. He has come to find Harper and see how she has been, since he has spent a whole month with Louis. He tells Hannah he is going to take Harper home, but she is neither at the apartment nor with Hannah. Joes tells Hannah he wishes she hadn't come and leaves. Just as he leaves, Prior walks in and tells Hannah that Joe will end up miserable with Louis. Prior is suddenly attacked with fever, and Hannah helps him to St. Vincent's Hospital.
