Dawn suspects he’s falling for young actress Eloise. But then she overhears him turning down an offer for a part that would suit her perfectly: he simply doesn’t want her to resume her career, preferring that she be a stay-at-home wife and mother. Dawn interprets this as affirmation that he still loves her.
