On the sidewalk after their counseling session, Wilder is upbeat, but Scottie is furious that he made their fake marriage look salvageable. She lists his antics in the session and reminds him they are not actually married. Wilder reveals he paid for Sanders Martin’s eight-day marriage camp because it “seemed fun,” which heightens Scottie’s panic about money, time off, and her job.

Scottie spirals about being exposed at Butter Putter and potentially getting fired. Sensing she is overwhelmed, Wilder steers her to a quiet booth at a juice bar to talk. He argues that attending the camp could satisfy Sanders and allow Scottie to report success back to Ellison, preserving her standing at work. He offers to keep up the husband act for future work events if needed.

Scottie challenges Wilder’s motives and worries about boundaries. Wilder insists his offer is because Scottie is Mika’s best friend and he wants to help, and he jokes about not being interested in love. He deflects when Scottie asks who he really is, hinting that his identity complicates dating.

Scottie warns that coworkers obsess over spouses and that a convincing cover will require full commitment. After discussing logistics, Wilder offers to commit to the ruse for six months while Scottie looks for a new job. Scottie sets limits about not improvising extreme lies (like a fake pregnancy), and continues to needle him about signing them up for the camp.

Despite her irritation, Scottie ultimately agrees to the plan: they will attend the camp, act combative at first, and then pretend to reconnect to make the program seem successful. Wilder caps the conversation by calling her “Pips,” and they part with plans to reconvene Monday, as Wilder resolves to research the camp.
