The Rosie Project

Rosie and Don meet to finish the DNA testing. After this, the Father Project will be over and Don will have no reason to see Rosie. They test the final samples. While Don is preparing the samples, he asks Rosie what she will do when she finds out who her father is. She says she will expose him for revenge. Don is horrified and turns off the machines. He won’t let her do something so immoral. They fight; she says that she’ll never speak to him again if he doesn’t complete the tests. He says he figured that she wouldn’t speak to him again anyway, considering that the project is over and she isn’t interested in him otherwise. Rosie storms out.

The Dean enters. She has found out about Don’s unapproved DNA project. She takes Don’s lab key and tells him that if she doesn’t get the paperwork, including approval from the ethics committee, Don is fired.

Gene comes to his office the next day, telling Don that he will try to help him by claiming that the unethical DNA project was for the Psychology Department. However, all Don can think about is Rosie, and not the impending end of his career.
