In the aftermath of the attack, Julie and Nigel share an emotional conversation. Feeling condescended to, Nigel demands that Julie reveal why she’s been having so many secretive phone calls lately, and learns that she’s been looking for a job.
But that’s not the only revelation in store. Julie reminds him that their marriage went through a rough patch five years ago, when she had an affair.
Growing upset, Nigel accuses her of having an affair again. Julie insists she’s telling the truth about the job, but Nigel only grows more upset, and demands that Phil take him on a daytrip to the countryside to unwind.
Phil complies, and the pair take Nigel’s car out into the country, where Nigel reveals what he has in store. But what is Nigel looking for?
