The wife walks back to the guest room with Mary Beth's scissors and long ponytail. She finds her husband lying on the bed, laughing. She removes her long hair from the loose bun on top of her head. "So, taken back by that slut's long hair, huh?" she laughs. "Yes, my dear. I thought we would never get that old cluck at the bar to cut her hair. All it took was a little passion from me and persuasion from you and she cuts it herself! Maybe she'll quit hanging around." laughs the husband. "You were masterful!" says the wife. "You were brilliant!" answers the husband, taking the cut ponytail. He ties it to his wife's long hair to make a ground dragging length of hair.

Mary Beth walks home in sorrow, unknowing of the trick played on her.
