and are spending the night at the station master's home as well. Both illicit couples, the station master and his wife (Margarita Lamprinou), sit down to a very uncomfortable dinner; Popi pretends she's Nikos' wife, nearly convincing her own husband that she's just his wife's doppelgänger. The couples eventually retire for the night; Popi and Nikos drive back to Athens in the middle of the night, whereas Lalakis, eager to return to Athens in order to confront Popi about her infidelity, is forced to make his way back by horse and carriage and public transport. Popi arrives home first and establishes an "alibi". Lalakis arrives shortly after her but can't prove anything. When Popi starts asking him questions about his stay in Thymaria, there's a knock on the door; it's the station master returning Lalakis' wallet, which had fallen out of his pocket the night before. The station master also mentions that Popi and Nikos also left early (the implication being that they never slept together) and that Popi left her to watch behind. Lalakis, now having concrete proof of his wife's infidelity, offers to return it to her and takes it from the station master. However, instead of confronting Popi, he tells her that the jewellery shop has returned her watch. After a moment of awkwardness, they both start laughing, essentially agreeing to forget the whole thing.
