Rod explains he was breaking up with her because he loves Helen, but she’s unsure. Helen asks Joan to make a play for Rod to see if he can be faithful. When she sees Rod kissing Joan, Helen is convinced Rod is a rat. However, it was actually Joan and her real boyfriend, not Rod. Helen and Rod reconcile.
