Renee returns home to a mixed reception: relatives fuss and reveal frustration that her husband, a lowly masseur, hasn't grown at all after three years. A polite visitor, Wesley Lewis, eldest son of the Lewises in South Province, is introduced and awkwardly barred from shaking hands. Family pressure escalates into outright demands—'Get the divorce today!'—arguing they can repay the money he once lent. The episode's key turn is announced: the Empress has chosen Renee as divine general and personally bestowed the honor. Her sudden elevation clashes with divorce demands, leaving her next move unresolved.
