The story so far
Everything you need before watchingMargaret and Andrew enter an immigration office expecting paperwork, but Mr. Gilbertson immediately questions whether their engagement is a fraud designed to stop her deportation. They improvise a secret-love story under pressure, then stumble over parents, a surprise visit, and an Alaskan hometown. The scene is a sharp lesson in evasive answers, social politeness, and conversational repair.
