Sophia overhears and assumes she is invited on the trip. Dorothy tells Raymond that she cannot go because she needs to take care of her mother. This brings he and Dorothy’s relationship to an end. Sophia tells her she’s decided not to go because she has made new friends and will be hanging out with them. Dorothy does not believe her until they come and pick her up.
