S8E7: Cold Turkey

The Middle of the Night
[Nathan and Kristinas apartment]
*Nathan and Jo were asleep in his bed. It had been about a week since the last episode, and they have been secretly hooking up almost every night. Nathan's phone rang, and he sprung up to answer.*

Nathan: Hello? Nancy, hey.

Nancy: Nathan? I need your help.

Nathan: What's going on?

*Jo rolled over and groaned, annoyed to be woken up.*

Nancy: The sink is leaking. It's leaking and leaving a mess of water underneath. I put a bowl but it won't stop. It's loud and making noises and Natalie can't sleep. Neither can I. I don't know what to do. I have people coming tomorrow to cook for Thanksgving. How can they cook without a sink? I...

Nathan: Okay, it's okay, you probably just need to replace the knob. Don't worry.

Nancy: What knob?

Nathan: Do you see the big wire connecting the pipes under the sink?

Nancy: Yeah... I think so.

Nathan: There should be a twisty thing. Like a large knob.

Nancy: Uh-huh.

Nathan: After a while it gets worn down and needs to be replaced. We should have an extra in the garage. I mean you, you should have an extra.

*Nancy walked to the garage to look. Usually, Nathan was the one doing these house chores. Nancy knew nothing of the sort. It's times like these she needs him around.*

Nancy: I got it.

Nathan: Now just unscrew the original knob and put the new one in. And be careful, it's sharp. Screw it on really tight so the leaking stops.

Nancy: Did it. Thank you. Sorry to bother you, did I wake you?

Nathan: No, I was up.

*Jo groaned again.*

Nancy: Um, so I'll see you.

Nathan: See you.

Nancy: Bye.

*Nancy hung up.*

Nathan: Jo, Jo did you hear that?

Jo: How could I not, you're yelling.

Nathan: I'm not yelling. But, I mean, she's calling me for help. She's been coming back lately. I mean, she doesn't seem so angry at me anymore.

Jo: *uninterested* That's great, Nate.

Nathan: I'm serious.

Jo: And I'm serious, I need to get some sleep.

Nathan: Fine.

*He rolled back around and went to sleep.*

The Next Morning
[the plaza]
*Jo was walking back home, and ran into Nina and Hallie.*

Nina: Jo, hey!

Jo: Hey guys.

Nina: Where are you headed?

Jo: Home.

Nina: Oh. Wait, where are you coming from?

Jo: Hm? No where. I just... went out to get breakfast.

Hallie: Isn't that the outfit you were wearing last night? To the movies?

Jo: What? No.

Hallie: It so is! I remember Nancy complimented your jeans.

Nina: What's going on?

Jo: Nothing! God, I didn't know I was friends with the fashion police!

*Jo walked away very fast.*
