Matt decides his wife needs to “practice” around confident men when he pulls Derek back into their orbit and turns a casual night out into a controlled, escalating test of attention, honesty, and restraint. As Derek’s focus stops feeling like harmless flirting and starts feeling like a hall pass, Matt keeps tightening the frame with rules, debriefs, and daylight negotiations that make the nighttime temptations sharper and more deliberate. The question stops being whether Derek wants her and becomes whether Trisha can allow herself to feel wanted, then come home to Matt without the wanting turning into something secret.
