Jacobson's new training school is called Sub-Sea, Inc. His course runs two days, costs $150, begins with instruction in his home, where the student studies the S 250 on paper and is likely to be plied with splendid zucchini bread and coffee by Jacobson's wife, Georgia May, a schoolteacher at Warwick's Gorton Junior High School.

Richard cannot bring himself to do anything but fume. When Clarisse finally explodes in rage at Teddy after his rape threat and demands that Richard stop him, Richard can only mutter that he might do something if she were raped. Their bond is shattered by the end of the play, as Clarisse makes it clear that she will be free of Richard's now groundless domination...
