Ruth (
Frances Conroy) takes decisive and overdue action by inviting Hiram over for dinner and then going to work for Nikolai, the family's amorous florist. David (Michael C. Hall) also takes a stand when he casts a swing vote in the church committee's decision to hire a progressive young priest. Nate (
Peter Krause) and Brenda (
Rachel Griffiths) decide to take a weekend vacation, unaware that Billy (
Jeremy Sisto) might have objections to this, while an algebra class leads Claire (
Lauren Ambrose) to question the subject's value in her life. ~ Rebecca Flint, All Movie Guide
