Ms. Tate is confronted by an associate who urges her to give Mr. Clark money for a supposed emergency. She refuses, recalling years of support—imported paints, fine brushes and easels—and his later demands despite insisting on a divorce. The associate reveals those art supplies are still in Mr. Clark’s studio; he never took them. Ms. Tate finds many portraits he painted of her, which contradict his departure. Told he meant it, she insists he’s only playing hard to get and vows not to yield. A voice calls, 'Ms. Tate!' leaving her next move unresolved.
