Sent to Ms. Searle’s office to sort files, an employee opens a drawer and finds the ring they once gave the Master. They confront him—"You also have feelings for me, right?"—and press him to admit it. While a colleague mentions Jesse’s eighteen years in hell and how Yvette helped him, the discovery forces a private reckoning. The Master refuses, insisting they’re not right for each other and muttering, "A stray dog could never deserve the moon." The confrontation breaks off when someone calls, "Hugh?", leaving the question of feeling unanswered.
