Added DiffLines:

* UnderstandingBoyfriend: Annie's husband Bill is surprisingly so. Upon learning that she's cheated on him with a woman, he isn't happy but even so can't bear to see her unhappy after she and Maggie break up. He therefore proposes that they engage in {{polyamory}}, something Annie and Maggie happily accept.
