Peter's return isn't too hard to explain. He'd gone away for a while, they'd said, taken a break. Considering Peter's recent erratic behavior and the circles they move in, this is assumed to be rehab. Heidi worries throwing a party will look tacky. She worries that Claire won't be accepted as a 'friend of the family'. And she worries – no, she's scared to death – about these enemies Angela insists on ensnaring.
What they've already done to that poor girl is bad enough – Heidi thinks it takes a bitch as cold as Angela to turn around and use Claire for bait.
