I actually saw that a bit different. When the first woman arrives to the book club there is a cute little conversation about Ethan and the plumbing. "A work in progress" I assumed that Ethan was Juliette's husband. Who else would work on the house when you can't call out a plumber? I would dislike the man that sent my husband off on a mission that may have got him killed in the end.
