While washing his wife's panties a husband finds a burned, tobacco‑scented patch and grows suspicious. Gina texts that she'll work late, so he drives to her animation studio and waits downstairs. From a fire escape he watches her leave with a man in a gray suit; they kiss beside a fancy car. He recognizes the man as married creative director Peter Lane, secretly photographs them as proof, recalls the 200,000 he saved for their home, and, bitter and determined, vows, "I'm going to give you a huge surprise."
