Skylar arrives at the Global Aviation Drill Conference rehearsal and is immediately jeered—attendees call her a divorced housewife and even a janitor, accusing her of using Daniel to provoke jealousy. Mr. Jepsen and others demand she leave, while another attendee reveals Skylar graduated from a top aviation academy and was Daniel’s classmate, forcing people to acknowledge her past as a rare genius. Opponents insist she’s been a housewife for seven years and is unfit to fly, warning of national disgrace. The conference is about to begin, leaving Skylar’s right to pilot unresolved.
