At a small temple, Madam Helena begs for grandchildren, naming her two sons: Adrian, who refuses the family business to guard the border, and Franklin, who lives for work. Back home a tense dinner explodes when a man threatens Liza and Zoey, forcing Liza to decide to flee with her sister to the city to find Sean, a grad student she trusts. Franklin is later scolded for being a workaholic; he defends Adrian’s choices and snaps in frustration. The episode ends on his raw outburst, leaving family strain and Liza’s escape unresolved.
