Upon arrival in Alabama, Melanie demands a divorce and an explanation why Jake has for the last seven years returned the divorce papers unsigned. Jake refuses to sign the papers. Melanie retaliates by emptying out their joint checking account. After following Jake to a local bar, Melanie gets drunk and embarrasses herself in front of her friends confessing that she had previously been pregnant with Jake's baby and revealing that a mutual friend, Bobby Ray, is gay. Jake becomes angry with her and takes her home. When she wakes up the next morning, the divorce papers are lying on her bed signed by Jake.
