Dorothy confronts her best friend Niamh after learning of Reece’s affair and asks why Niamh kept it secret. Niamh admits hiding the truth "for your own sake," then attacks Dorothy’s life—marrying Reece after college, never working, living in a mansion with a daughter—and warns she couldn’t support herself alone. Niamh also accuses Dorothy of using her connections to get into Carter Group and become head of the legal department. Stung and betrayed, Dorothy declares, "I am divorcing him." Niamh’s cool response, "Suit yourself," leaves Dorothy’s decision unresolved.
