Millie and Andrew, tipsy from their night out, check into The Plaza and have sex. Millie revels in the intimacy after a long drought, framing it as something she wanted and needed, despite knowing Andrew is married and her employer.

At dawn, as Andrew sleeps, Millie fantasizes about him leaving Nina, the prenup making it feasible, and starting a life where she could give him the baby he wants. She steels herself that it was a one-time lapse, convinced it cannot continue.

When Andrew wakes, hungover, he worries about what happened and asks if they are okay. He seeks assurance that Millie will not tell Nina, which stings her, but she agrees. He apologizes, then admits he is not sorry for the night itself, yet insists it cannot happen again.

Millie confirms she understands and retreats to take a cold shower, accepting the boundary. The encounter heightens emotional stakes and secrecy in the Winchester household, deepening her conflict between desire and reality.
