As dinner nears completion, Millie cooks marinated chicken following printed instructions, filling the kitchen with enticing smells. Andrew Winchester arrives home, loosening his tie, and warmly greets her, praising the aroma and asking about her first day. Millie keeps the peanut butter mishap to herself and compliments the house, which Andrew credits to Nina.

Nina enters in another pristine white outfit. Millie recalls a mantle photo where Nina looked slimmer, less blond, and more casual years ago, while Andrew appeared unchanged. Andrew calls Nina beautiful and kisses her, and Millie busies herself, uncomfortable with their display.

As they chat, Andrew again praises the food. Nina watches Millie with a dark, possessive look, and Andrew jokes that Nina cannot cook, noting they relied on his mother’s meals before his parents retired to Florida and now mostly eat takeout. Nina gives a tight smile, and the tension lingers.

When Millie announces dinner is nearly ready, Andrew invites her to join. Nina reacts sharply, and Millie quickly declines to avoid provoking Nina. Nina reframes it as Millie wanting to text friends, which Millie goes along with despite having none. Millie resolves to keep her head down and not threaten Nina as she continues the job.
