Beneath the Rouge, A Sword - Episode 8

Lainey prepares to visit her family, but the household keeps piling on gifts—a gem, mountain-root remedies, and local specialties—after servants gossip that her husband looked exhausted and truly dotes on her. She protests she can't carry so much, but preparations escalate when Maurice, framing it as her return visit, says he will accompany her and orders two crates, adding that they'll take Lainey's mother along. Staff call the offerings excessive; a final line—'If these things can bring your mother home, then they're worth it'—leaves whether the plan will succeed unresolved as they set out.
