The women keep Hart tied up at home while they collect evidence in order to blackmail him into silence. They also use Hart's absence to effect numerous changes around the office in his name, including flexible work hours, equal pay for male and female employees, and an onsite daycare centre for employees with children. Hart is so disliked around the office that the only person to question his absence is Roz, whom Violet eventually sends away to Paris for a language training seminar.
