Madelyn's husband confronts her, demanding she appoint Dwight—her childhood sweetheart who once left—as the factory accountant in exchange for 'letting you have it once.' Madelyn resists and defends Dwight against her husband's claim that Dwight returned only after failing elsewhere. She ultimately assigns Dwight as accountant; Dwight refuses any reward and tells her husband, "Get out." The husband then confesses, "In 7 days, I'll die," calls the appointment his last gift and vows to save his workers. The episode ends with Dwight arriving at the factory, greeted by Mr. Zoller, and a looming deadline.
