When Dan calls to break their date, Carrie accepts it as confirmation of her doubts, leading to their separation. Additionally, the issue includes a prose story titled "Charcoal Broiled Chicken," in which Mae Jannees serves charcoal broiled chicken to a young man named Jack Rosenow at a picnic, and they later develop a romantic connection after he helps with car trouble.
