Nonetheless Freya puts up a united front with her husband and spurns Babbish's advances when they are working late together. Aiden however is suspicious, and concocts a plan which will make it seem as if both are taking bribes, though only Babbish is tarnished by it and has to resign. Freya is angry that Aiden could have thought so little of her and, having supported him after his father's death, asks him to leave the house. Six months later, after a coup and a cabinet reshuffle, the couple move into 10 Downing Street as prime minister and deputy, though the press speculates on whether their reconciliation is genuine or for the sake of their public image.
