The latter would seem to have it all: A successful designer career working for her father; a good kid in Molly (INDIA ENNENGA) who's cared for by nanny Uta (TILLY SCOTT PEDERSEN) and housekeeper Maggie (CLORIS LEACHMAN); and a husband who's a successful businessman. Yet, Mary is so busy attending and holding social events that she hasn't figured out why her husband is always "working" so late.
Sylvia and her friends -- perpetually pregnant Edie Cohen (DEBRA MESSING) and lesbian writer Alex Fisher (JADA PINKETT SMITH) -- disagree about whether to tell Mary, but she soon learns the truth from Tanya while getting her nails done. As Sylvia is distracted by the possibility of losing her job, and Mary's mom, Catherine (CANDICE BERGEN), tries to give her daughter advice based on her own similar experiences, Mary must figure out what to do about her husband and her life.
Characters drink in various scenes, while two women share a joint in one, and it's revealed that a young teen apparently smokes (she has a pack of cigarettes, but no use occurs). Various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes, including those regarding an affair that leads to tense family material (a divorce, a teen thinking her mom doesn't care about her, etc.). There's a little bit of scatological humor and some behavior might be enticing for some kids to imitate.
