The next morning, Dr. Rivers tells his wife that he thinks that shu just put on an act. He says that his wife told him that nora was very intelligent and that she knew how to avoid big responsibilities. He tells her that he's going to hang out in the interrogation room and watch them interrogate nora. He also tells her to lie down and rest the next day. He asks her if she's feeling well. She says that she is. Rivers asks her to speak to him like how she would. She tells him that she has never had so clear a mind like this. She asks him if he'll teach her a lesson if she does something foolish again. She also tells him to wait outside the ward for a few days if he can't work well with the other doctors at the hospital. He waits for the family to send clara home before he goes to work. He doesn't want to be a bad influence on the hospital for the next three months.
