The episode opens as a man is handed divorce papers from his adjutant and refuses to believe his wife Wanda could leave him. His father reveals the signature matches and recounts Wanda’s wartime losses, saying she had nowhere else and was a devoted wife who cared for him and their child Felix. A child cries and is soothed by his mother, then the man is abruptly given a dossier: in a month he must run security for an eight-nation delegation. Ordered to "get yourself together," he faces an unexplained divorce while a critical national duty looms unresolved.
