An argument erupts when someone confronts Mr. Creswell about locking up Tank and keeping a cat. Mrs. Creswell admits she bought a Sphynx and an air purifier, refuses orders to remove it, and declares she won't be the lifeless wife anymore — she will exercise her rights during the remaining year of their contract. A staffer reports Mr. Creswell left angry, while cooks prepare a meal from Mrs. Creswell's menu and receive bonuses. Later Mr. Creswell signs a document about southern land; a money transfer to Mrs. Creswell is scheduled for tomorrow, leaving the conditional deal and marriage unsettled.
