-== Summary ==
+{{SummaryCollapsed |
 Milly Holt and Boz Hanson, a successful married couple, have become hostile and sexually insecure. Boz spends some time apart, reconnecting with his mother and sister, and pursuing random flirtations. After a manipulative couples-therapy session, Milly and Boz decide to have a child via artificial gestation, with Boz being physically modified to be able to breastfeed; the experience brings them together at last.
