On her wedding night Dorothy is forced into marriage to save her mother, who lies in the ICU. The Stevens relatives bully her, demand $5 million a month and seize betrothal gifts while taunting that Jerome can't have children and warning about her ex‑boyfriends' health. Tension escalates as family members threaten consequences if she refuses. Jerome, cold and silent, meets Dorothy for the first time and breaks the standoff with one order: "Open your mouth." The episode ends with Dorothy frozen at his command, the coercive deal unresolved and her next move hanging in the balance.
On the morning after her wedding, Dolly—newly married into the Stevens family—faces a shock: staff claim the man who spent the night with Mrs. Stevens sounded like Jerome. Rumors said Jerome is cold, but the wedding night had been unexpectedly gentle. Servants accuse the household of letting an unknown man into the house. Jerome insists he slept in the guest room and denies interest in women, while others confront a man and demand, "You were the man last night, weren't you?" The household is split and the episode ends as everyone asks, "Who was that man?"
On their wedding night a woman confronts the man she slept with when he pretends not to remember. He reacts coldly, accuses her of cuckolding him and orders her thrown out. She begs for one more chance and points out she left a hickey on his abs, urging him to check. He inspects without surprise, declares he’s never been interested in women, then gives her three days to find the other man. He threatens physical retribution against that man and warns he will punish her if she fails. She now has three days to prove the truth.
Dolly storms a clinic searching for a man who looks exactly like her husband Jerome. A staffer reveals Jerome had a younger brother, Samuel Stevens, but Samuel was killed at six and the family forbids mentioning him, especially around Mr. Stevens. Later the same man shows up at her home and says, "Don't you miss me, Dolly?" She confronts him: "Are you Jerome's brother, Samuel?" and is told, "Samuel has already died." The episode ends with the man's identity unresolved and Dolly forced to reckon with the family's secret.
After Dolly admits she faked infertility to mislead the powerful Stevens family, she tells Jerome she only played cold to protect him. Jerome confesses long-held feelings, reveals they already slept together, and flirts—asking to sleep again. At the same time jealous relatives surface: one brother declares, "your woman is mine," while servants note Mrs. Stevens's room was unusually quiet. The family orders close surveillance and cites the arranged marriage for "pure bloodlines." The episode ends with informants reporting the old kidnapping was orchestrated by the uncle, leaving the household on edge and Dolly under watch.
An early scramble—"Jerome, run!"—opens this episode. It recounts Egan's attempt to kill his nephews to seize power. Mr. Stevens admits he failed to rescue Samuel before Samuel's death. Others remind Mr. Stevens that their grandfather's will names the first to have a child sole heir and urge him to secure an heir to block Egan. They insist the estate is tightly guarded, so news that Mrs. Stevens was with another man seems impossible. A check reveals a hickey on Mrs. Stevens. The episode ends with Mr. Stevens confronting this evidence and forced to decide his next move.
Someone hiding in the study wakes to a mosquito bite and a family ultimatum: Mrs. Stevens will receive no Stevens money until she gives birth. At a tense meeting Mrs. Stevens snaps, "Are you treating me like a breeding sow?" Advisors pressure Mr. Stevens to secure an heir and warn Egan could exploit failure; Jerome is taunted that his ED won't be cured. They propose Dr. Thomson, an andrologist, as a private option. A threat to punish Mrs. Stevens if she bears another man's child leaves her safety and the leadership unresolved, forcing a risky medical choice.
Dr. Thomson accepts a sudden $10 million VIP appointment to pay for her mother's treatment and leave her husband. At the clinic she recognizes the VIP — a man she knows who seems vigorous, so staff question why he needs andrology care. When he discovers she's an andrologist his glare suggests jealousy. She promises only she can help and begins the exam, ordering him to undress and spread his legs. The session escalates into a physical struggle when he resists, shouting "Let go!", stopping the treatment and leaving her plan unresolved.
Scene opens on a tense domestic confrontation: a reluctant partner tries to pull away while the other insists he is marrying them to solve their troubles. Apologies and resistance fail to stop an attempted check-up watched by a bystander who notes the man's arousal. Cut to a different pressure point: a commanding figure scolds a subordinate for not finding a man within three days, threatens dire consequences, and orders immediate action. The subordinate agrees and prepares to search. The episode ends with Dolly warned not to wander, leaving her vulnerability and the hunt unresolved.
During a confrontation, Dorothy "Dolly" Thomson angrily refuses to cooperate, telling someone she won't see them again and will find "that man" or book a ticket and run. She warns playing along risks her life and tells them to find another woman to have kids for them. Jerome appears; someone says he's scared her. Jerome's brother declares, "As your brother, I'll help you get her back." The episode closes with the Stevens family having chosen Dorothy for Jerome and his brother's vow to retrieve her, leaving Dolly's escape attempt unresolved.
