At a social gathering a troupe lead publicly accuses Tessa of clinging to her husband, Shaun, and mocking her pregnancy. The woman taunts Tessa as a 'damsel' and insists Shaun never liked her, even claiming Tessa tricked him into sleeping with her. Shaun insists they're married and defends Tessa, helps her lie down when she feels a sharp pain and the babies kick, and cites the doctor about early pregnancy discomfort. The rival escalates, bluntly suggesting Shaun slept with her more than once. The episode ends with Tessa reeling from the accusation and trust left unresolved.
