At a celebratory company party for Mr. Regan, his wife’s roast is served—until a huge bug is found in the dish. Guests and potential partners erupt, publicly insulting the cook’s single‑parent background and demanding she apologize to save the deal. Under mounting pressure she is forced to bow and repeatedly beg forgiveness while colleagues warn the partnership is at risk. The scene flips when a woman at the table is identified: she’s not only Regan’s mistress but the wife’s own ex‑lover. The episode ends with that revelation hanging over the ruined reception and the wife’s next move unresolved.
