At Nina's birthday party, everyone is dancing the Argentine tango. Sasha pairs up with Sergey and discusses the upcoming trip with him. Kira informs her father that she is getting married, and Stillard wins the tender, despite Varya's machinations.

Sasha returns to Stillard to prove to herself and others that she is ready to start a new life. Gradsky, on the other hand, intends to return his beloved in all ways, even if he has to change not only internally, but also externally.
