At Ms. Lind's birthday party, Mrs. Lawton storms in accusing the guest of being a mistress and demands a gift, drawing rebuke from hosts who insist Mr. Lawton is honoring an employee. Back home, Soren returns as his father plans a banquet to introduce him and announce he'll run Wellmart; his mother pleads, since it's her birthday, not to cause trouble. A child scuffle breaks out—someone called 'Baddie' strikes Aunt Claire, Yvette intervenes, and the mother declares she will no longer be the child's mother. In the final turn she tells Jason to sign and says, "I want a divorce."
