At a diplomatic briefing, officials ask whether Charia will resist the Eight-Nation Alliance alone. Miss Jason declares Charia won't tolerate territorial violations, is praised for firmness, and is named leader of next month's delegation. She then shocks Mr. Jenkins by announcing she's getting married and quitting the diplomatic corps; Jenkins presses her and she reaffirms the decision. Later at home, Felix is scolded for claiming Wanda is his mother while Aunt Yasmin is identified as the adjutant’s sister. Felix accuses their father of favoring Yasmin over their mother, which he denies. Her resignation leaves the delegation and family tensions unresolved.
