At a formal exchange a woman accepts a travel gift from Mr. Hector Fuller, triggering a confrontation about their three-year marriage. She accuses Hector’s family duty—an illegitimate child and his mother's suicide threats—of trumping his love, and reveals their quick wedding was never legally registered. Refusing to swallow his secret, she turns to another man and asks Ethan, "Do you still want to... marry me?" Ethan answers, "Yes, of course." The episode ends on that commitment, leaving the unregistered marriage and family fallout unresolved.
