At the party scene, Edith is constantly poked and pried by the professor's wives. Edith is a little bit older than Amanda and she is also very wise. When Amanda and Redmon break up, Edith is visited by Redmon and at first, Edith is angry at Redmon for what happened during the party. Over time, Edith noticed that Redmon truly does love Amanda and Edith agrees to talk to Amanda. Redmon tells Edith that his character's live with him and that is the true reason why the party was a complete disaster.
