Jesse bursts into a tense exchange, asking someone to marry him; the person initially bristles — "You're married now" — then surprisingly agrees to a City Hall date in four days. Meanwhile Yara collapses from heat and faces dismissal; Mrs. Ford intervenes, fires the caretaker but comforts Yara and accepts responsibility. At home a woman suspects Trent of faking love and doubts him. Trent answers practically: he needs a replacement marriage certificate to adopt Tiana and plans to get it tomorrow. With a wedding set and adoption paperwork imminent, trust hangs unresolved.
