At the Gates of Father's Camp - Episode 1

Molly returns from the mountains with herbs for her coughing mother and is scolded by her grandfather for leaving without permission; he even threatens, "I'll feed you to the wolves." Shortly after, her mother coughs up blood and collapses. The family discovers they lack money for a doctor—her father hasn't sent funds in six months—and Grandpa refuses treatment as a waste. Molly pleads, while her father prepares to leave with the Steel Talon Army after promising help. The episode ends with Molly declaring, "I'll take you to dad," and rushing to carry her ailing mother.
