Mary thinks it is time to go her own way, but Paula, who has agoraphobia, needs Mary as a link to the outside world. Mary can't get away from the power of the nit-picking and sucking Paula. That's why she takes Arthur with her one day, a strange man who she knows vaguely from work. Arthur can rent Fred's room and he may be able to bring some fresh air to the oppressive atmosphere. Of course a real courtship ritual emerges around Arthur that leads to bizarre, but also painful situations.
