Juliette Lewis, in her best role since she was Mallory("Natural Born Killers"), pumps fresh blood into "Catch and Release" just before these old friends become insufferable. She's attractive he's attractive it was inevitable. However, the argument can be made that Gray would've hooked up with this guy in spite of her fiance's indiscretion. When Gray sleeps with one of her male friends, we're supposed to feel like it's morally acceptable, because what's good for the goose (cooked goose, in this case) is good for the gander. "Catch and Release" is sort of like "The Big Chill", but these thirtysomethings live the life on a full-time basis.

If this fetchin' widow did, she would've recalled Harry's warning that there's no such thing as a platonic friend (if the woman is gorgeous), and would've found a more practical way to grieve over her fiance.
