The episode opens with staff hustling a woman into a side room so she won't ruin Mr. Hugh's planned proposal. She returns claiming she only came to check preparations. Mr. Hugh denies giving her anything and brusquely tells her to leave while an off-screen voice calls her a "little trap." Accusations and interrupted explanations escalate. Someone asks if anyone else had been in the room; a toppled object suggests otherwise. As aides push her aside and prepare to inspect the room, the immediate question—who was really there and whether the proposal can go ahead—remains unresolved.
