Matt screams that there will never be a divorce and grabs his brother, threatening to kill him. Back in his room, just after Lorry awakens and apologizes to Matt for not stopping their marriage, Tim arrives and angrily says he will handle things because they will be divorced within two weeks. He goes to Bob to tell him what happened and asks him to apologize for him to Elsie. Awakening the next morning, Matt sees Lorry sleeping and regrets his impulsiveness. Realizing Matt is suggesting they get married, the bewildered Lorry tries to dissuade him, but acquiesces when Matt cruelly asks what she would have to lose.

Matt drunkenly says she is pretty, insisting he would not marry anyone who was not. Lorry lets Matt escort her out, but protests that she is not pretty enough when he assumes that she is a streetwalker. He threatens to call the police, but Matt intervenes and knocks him out.

When Lorry pays for her meal, the waiter thinks she has tried to discard the tickets to avoid paying for them. Later, Matt is sitting at a diner when he sees a man drop some unpaid punch card tickets onto a table occupied by plain-looking Lorry Reed. After she opens the door, Matt continues his tirade, saying he was going to propose but now wants nothing to do with her. When Elsie refuses to open her door, Matt becomes enraged and threatens to break it down. While Bob, who is entering law school, suggests to Matt that a lot of money could be made in town, Matt suddenly realizes that he is very late for a date with his sweetheart, Elsie Reynolds, and asks Bob, who also likes Elsie, to come with him to explain what happened. That night, when a quarrel turns into a barroom brawl between Matt and his friend Robert Herrick, Tim has them thrown out. Tim, who is the political boss of the city's fourth ward, has reared the much younger Matt, but the two are constantly at odds. At the end of World War I, Tim Brady greets his brother Matt, who has returned home a captain.
