In the family home, relatives bring Clint divorce papers and demand he sign, denouncing an unnamed woman they say abandoned her son and calling her unskilled. They argue the split will restore the family's reputation, promise to set Clint up with April, and encourage him to accept a Trade Summit invitation. Chores and thinly veiled insults pile on as pressure mounts, but Clint resists. He refuses to be pushed into divorce and states he will not sign. The family reels; the immediate fallout from his refusal sets the next conflict.
