Sophia faces an ultimatum when a family elder tells her to drop the act and apologize to the children and Aunt Candice to stay Mrs. Howell. He accuses her of forcing a marriage when Candice went abroad and warns he may reconsider her status if she crosses the line. Sophia tells Liam she wants a divorce, books a flight for the day after tomorrow, and says she must start fresh, asking to be seen off at the old place. She then overhears Liam’s birthday party at the house—uninvited—and her future in the family remains unresolved.
