The Expats

Kate bumps into Carolina, another expatriate mother, on the sidewalk. Carolina chats with Kate, but Kate is distracted by the knowledge that she may never see Carolina again. Carolina tells Kate she will see her the following day. Kate agrees, quietly committing to a plan that will allow her and her family to stay in Paris.

Kate and Dexter attend a social gathering in Luxembourg. Thinking about the amount Dexter is alleged to have stolen, Kate becomes conscious of the way money manifests itself as a topic of conversation and status symbol among the party guests. She decides to learn the truth about him before the FBI does. Kate goes up to a private bathroom away from the party. Looking at herself in the mirror, she realizes that choosing to marry Dexter had aligned so well with the life of duplicity she had chosen when she joined the CIA. She cries over her self-deception.

On the first day of the new year, Kate dreads being confronted by Dexter over breaking into his office. Instead, he tells her that he will be going to London the following day, which will be his last business trip for some time. He also reminds her of their family trip to Amsterdam, which is scheduled for that weekend.
