At the same time, she is also having a relationship with Denny (Henry Czerny), her second in command. Denny lives in an apartment building and his neighbor is a feisty senior citizen named May Markham (Lauren Bacall).

One night, May is awaken by a gun shot that kills Denny; however, it is not clear if it is a case of murder of suicide. Monica meets May soon after Denny's death, and the two have coffee.
