A thoughtful Bertie drives down to the Bassett residence with Jeeves and is welcomed by Madeline who thinks he came down to see her and says she must disappoint him because she really loves Gussie, causing great relief to Bertie. Madeline breaks out in tears at the thought of the grief she thinks she has caused Bertie and while he is comforting her Roderick Spode comes in, all worked up over seeing him there.
