Mr. Wilder orders his staff to file divorce papers, to hide them from Mrs. Wilder but to tell Ms. Carver he is divorced, insisting his true wife will always be Clare. At the registry Clare Bowen confirms Mr. Lane explained the situation and receives her divorce certificate; officials warn of a 30-day waiting period and say Mr. Wilder can collect his copy then. Clare reflects, calling letting go like yanking a rotten tooth, and Axel congratulates her on a new life. The episode closes on that 30-day pause as Mr. Wilder's next move remains unresolved.
