In Washington, Monica still refuses to be part of Jason's attempt to get Cash off the project. Cash is grateful, but then his wife turns up surprisingly. Adrienne Cassidy comes to Monica and makes clear that she'll fight harder than then for her husband. Monica assures in return that everything is over between Cash and her.
