Act 2, Scene 2 Summary

Two weeks later, Sam waits for Angel on the apartment building stoop to inform her that test results indicate that she is eight weeks pregnant. This is clearly not news that Angel wants to hear. The evening gets even worse when they see an eviction notice on Guy's apartment door. Guy arrives home and while he doesn't have the full amount needed for the rent, he seems unconcerned because he believes that good news will come from Josephine Baker any day.

Guy leaves Angel alone in her distress in the apartment. She is surprised when Leland shows up after not having seen him for two weeks. Angel tells Leland that she is pregnant. Because Leland is still in love with her, he then proposes marriage to Angel. She accepts his proposal and Leland begins to make marriage plans.
