She's practicing the sewing spells Molly taught her.
As a concession to Bernard's nerves, there's a blanket tucked around her legs, and a cup of tea on the table in front of her.

"I just feel... stuck. I don't know how I'm supposed to feel, except stuck. Like I can't go back, but I can't go forward, either."

"I think," 'Dora finally says slowly. "I think it's just that I never expected-- I mean, the kids are supposed to be so stair-step, I never imagined we'd have any trouble with a pregnancy."
