According to Tony, Isla Suerte is “a little slice of heaven”. Tony sits on the beach, admiring the beauty of both the island and a certain lusty lady. He makes a call to Happy Hogan, suggesting that he and Pepper come down here for a vacation. Happy hesitates and then tells him that they have got divorced. Tony is taken aback at the revelation.
