Emma wants more time to make a decision. About something. About anything. There's nothing actually wrong with her life, but it doesn't feel like there's anything especially right either. Maybe a visit to a fertility doctor will compel her to finally stop just cruising in the direction of the traffic, and act. As her doctor says, "At 36, it's better to do something, rather than nothing." But the visit turns out to shine a light on a different path she's been idling in, and it's going to really put a damper on furniture shopping for a new place with Alan.
