Dorothy confronts Reece after discovering his fling; he insists it meant nothing and offers trips and gifts to make amends. Dorothy demands a divorce, warns she will take the case to court and expose the affair—risking his company—while Reece cites their prenup, threatens she’ll walk away with nothing and questions her ability to survive. Dorothy signs the papers and sets a one-month cooling period. She tells daughter Celia they finalized the divorce and accepts an interview invitation from Club Noven. At the club she is met with, "Well, if it isn't Mrs. Carter!" leaving her next move uncertain.
