On a cold autumn evening, Cassandra finally finds the courage to confess to George that she loves another man and, taking care not to reveal his identity, asks him for a divorce. The man, shocked by the woman's revelations that actually confirm what has always been his suspicions, without even being able to utter a word but a few whispers, falls to the ground suffering from a heart attack.

Here, all of George's family and friends, including Paul himself, who wonders more and more insistently whether Cassandra may have had an impact on the man's heart attack. When cornered, the woman finally confesses to having actually told George the whole truth, but when she wakes up she shows, or pretends, that she no longer remembers anything.

The news causes a deep shock to the two of them, who decide not to say anything to George and to wait for his death to make their union official; despite, however, between the two continue the moments of strong intimacy.
