At a family meal a woman declares, "I want a divorce," says the husband can keep their child and refuses any more ties; he answers he doesn't want to be with her either. Their child begs Dad to divorce Mom and asks for a new mother, deepening the household split. Lawyers assert the facts are clear and prepare a legal fight over custody. At work, a senior offers a promotion, but the young officer shocks colleagues by resigning to marry. Rumors about Dad and April resurface, and the mother's insistence that "she won't leave" leaves the outcome unresolved.
