Tina claims she heard wine helps people sleep and only meant well. Wendy is furious, but Jerry defends Tina and tells Wendy not to be so dramatic.

Episode 2

Wendy tells her parents she lost and is willing to come home and inherit the family business. They're shocked at how sudden it is and ask if she's been wronged. Her parents remind her they never thought Jerry was good enough, but she hid her identity to marry him and bet them five years that he'd treat her well. Now she says one month is enough to divorce him. Meanwhile, Jerry's side is already excusing Tina: she's never been a mother, so how would she know a baby can't have wine? He promises it won't happen again. Wendy keeps her plan quiet.

Episode 3

Jerry still hasn't noticed Wendy came home alone. She realizes his heart has long since tilted toward Tina, and this isn't even the first time he's brought her into their home. Tina asks to stay just one night, and Jerry brushes off Wendy's suggestion that Tina take a hotel, calling Wendy petty. Wendy decides she's done swallowing her feelings and done with this man. Then she finds the baby's formula gone. Tina admits she poured it all out, claiming the sight of it reminded her of her grandmother's ashes. It's one more thing Wendy can't forgive.

Episode 4

Wendy catches Tina messing with her things and confronts her, furious that Tina won't even leave the baby's formula alone. Jerry tells Wendy to calm down, saying it's just formula and he'll pay for it, but Wendy explains their son throws up any other kind. Jerry dismisses her, saying the boy is too coddled. Wendy sees clearly now: she and her son together still don't weigh as much as Tina in Jerry's eyes. At the hospital, Jerry shows up, and Wendy asks why he's there — is he really willing to leave Tina home alone? He says he wasn't comfortable with Wendy and the baby there without him.

Episode 5

Jerry insists he only thinks of Tina as the little sister he lost young and asks Wendy to give him face and stop picking on her. Wendy isn't buying it. Then a call comes: Tina has been in a car accident and refuses to go to the hospital until Jerry comes to get her. Tina apologizes, saying she only wanted to apologize to Wendy. But Wendy accuses her of engineering the crash to win Jerry's attention, and Jerry calls Wendy cold-blooded for not caring that Tina got hurt. He grabs her, demanding she come with him; she refuses and pulls away.

Episode 6

Jerry explodes at Wendy, blaming her for Tina's accident, while Wendy fires back that Tina knew he had a family and still stayed close — this isn't about Wendy, it's about him. He insists Wendy come with him to clear things up, but she says Tina's fate is none of her business and she won't watch them play couple. Jerry says he'll arrange a nurse, then threatens her through their son, telling her that finding Tina and settling this is a responsibility she can't dodge. Wendy watches him go and feels something shift — as if the man she knew is suddenly a stranger.

Episode 7

Wendy searches street after street until she's exhausted, and finally her phone rings. Tina wants Wendy's pork rib soup and an apology, and Jerry tells Wendy to come home, cook, and make things right. Jerry stays by Tina's side, saying he won't leave while she's like this. Wendy agrees to return — but only to collect all her documents and belongings. Her parents, hearing her voice, realize their proud daughter must be deeply hurt and start arranging flights to bring her home. Back at the house, Tina plays the worried guest, and Wendy tells her plainly: if she truly feared causing trouble, she wouldn't be living in Wendy's son's room, drinking water poured by Wendy's husband.

Episode 8

Jerry tells Wendy to stop being so aggressive, saying Tina is ready to explain and won't stay at their home again. Wendy says she doesn't need an explanation and doesn't care what they do. Her calm unsettles him — she's only ever been a housewife dependent on him, yet suddenly she seems ready to walk away from the home she built. Tina needles her, saying Jerry works hard and gives her such a good life, so why isn't she grateful? Jerry notices Wendy packing and asks what she's doing, accusing her of making a scene. Wendy tells him she isn't a princess throwing a tantrum, and keeps gathering her ID and passport.

Episode 9

Jerry demands to know where Wendy is going with her ID and passport. Tina scolds her for being selfish and not appreciating how hard Jerry works to support her. Wendy says she's leaving nothing behind — she's left the household card in the drawer, and she and her son won't need Jerry anymore. Tina sneers that Wendy has no job and no skills, so she'll just end up using Jerry's card and wearing clothes he bought. Wendy corrects her: she worked until their son was born; Jerry talked her into quitting, she didn't beg to be kept. Then a driver arrives calling her "Miss" and saying he's there to take her home.
