Jeff couldn't handle the pressure, so he needed to get Lucy out of the way for a bit. And it occurred to him suddenly...if he used Lucy, he could have more time with Michelle.
"I have to go grab something," he said. He ran upstairs and loaded Lucy's profile.

He altered it quickly.

He extended the timer for 24 hours. And he contemplated the reality alteration setting. With Lucy working...and having a profile like his Dad had before....things would be basically normal...except no one would know...no more questions. He could have a whole day with his girlfriend.

Downstairs, Lucy was grilling Michelle, confused as to how she had an answer to every question. Where did she meet Jeff, what did she mean they'd met before...when Jeff reentered the room.
