Susan revealed that Gerry and Theresa are "doing good" since they announced their divorce. However, when asked about whether she was surprised by Gerry and Theresa's split, Susan didn't answer but instead pretended to zip her lips. She seemed to be taking the advice that her best friend Kathy Swarts gave to Theresa when she told her to "zip it" in regard to her relationship with Gerry when she thought that Theresa was boasting about their connection.

Susan did a beautiful job as the Golden Wedding officiant. She brought both heart and humor to the ceremony. She was genuinely happy for Gerry and Theresa.

It's also nice to see that Susan is only speaking positively about Gerry and Theresa. As one of their close friends, she probably does know more about the breakup than others, but it's refreshing to see that she's remaining tight-lipped about it. Susan knows that it's not her place to talk about what happened but instead is being a source of encouragement and comfort to her friends, just like she's always been. Susan is a truly genuine and wonderful person.
