Jack shocks Miles with a week of sexual depravity starting with a bimbo he picks up as soon as they arrive. Miles   meets Maya who wants him, but he becomes philosophical ignoring the sexual attraction between them. He ponders why modern day marriages usually end in divorce, thinking of him and Victoria while envying her new spouse. He conjectures whether marriage could survive if society accepted men sleeping around.
