"People ask me, 'Do you forgive Ned for what he did?' Ariel begins. 'And, I mean, the answer is no. Absolutely not. How can you forgive somebody for lying to you, for cheating on you? No, I mean fuck no.' She pauses, seething with anger, saying that she's starting to see red. 'Forgiveness isn't the goal at this point.' Later in the episode, Ariel recalls the moment she discovered the affair."
"'I found [out] from the fans. I mean, I was so blindsided that somebody sent me a picture and I'd like, I couldn't... it was like my brain couldn't compute.' She also said she remembered thinking the person in the photo was Ned's sister. 'What was so fucked up in my brain that I couldn't actually see what was happening in this picture, like the picture was right there in front of me. And then the pieces just started falling...and then more pictures started coming in.'"
Ariel says she cannot forgive Ned for lying and cheating and describes feeling seething anger.

The couple attempted couples counseling and ultimately split. The episode runs about an hour and foregrounds Ariel's composed, definitive responses alongside Ned's reactions.
