Molly thanks Old Mrs. Hudson and says she married Xavier despite his flaws, while office orders push a corporate deal forward: phase one of the Prospera–Hudson closing, a phase two plan to review, and Hewitt Group asking for a role in the AI bionics project as the final wire clears. Mrs. Hudson then announces their house is ready and expects them tonight. At Veluna Club, Xavier is partying, dismissive of the marriage and admits, "I only married her because Grandma forced my hand," refusing to go home. Molly is left facing Mrs. Hudson’s expectations alone, the couple’s next move unresolved.
