John enters, pulling out ice cream from the fridge and offering it to Bev. They settle in to watch a movie, but John's curiosity gets the better of him, and he abruptly asks Bev about the whereabouts of his wife. Bev reacts swiftly, leaping to her feet and engaging John in a fierce struggle. Jane, realizing the commotion, rushes in to join the fray, but Bev manages to escape.

John counters that Bev worked for a rival organization, and their relationship could have yielded valuable insights into the Mr. and Mrs. Smith program.

Finally, he carries the steaming soup upstairs, hoping it will bring some comfort to Jane in the midst of their complex and often tumultuous relationship.

John then recalls that Hihi had informed him that Jane was present at Bev's abode. The question arises: Why would Hihi orchestrate such intricate maneuvers? As John hurriedly texts Hihi, notifying him of Bev's escape, they ominously remark that the Smiths have now suffered three consecutive failures. John, defeated, announces his resignation, informing Jane that he will depart the following morning. Jane, overcome by frustration, violently throws her laptop to the ground in a fit of anger.
