At a tense family confrontation someone demands the truth: a woman confesses their grandmother ordered children to push someone into the pond to drown. She explains Natalia arrived with a huge fish to scare them and Mia fell in by accident. Relatives turn on Xenia, calling her wicked for involving grandchildren and harming a child. Xenia protests she only doubted Natalia’s origins and blames a misunderstanding by Xavier. Beverly—insisting Natalia is her only biological granddaughter—cuts Xenia off, ordering her away from Natalia’s homecoming. Xenia’s allegation that Natalia’s identity is “fishy” hangs unresolved.
Andrew lies critically ill, and Beverly has produced a young woman, Natalia, claiming she is his only child. Lady Xenia and elders accuse Beverly of bringing an impostor and demand proof. Some say Natalia was found via ancestral guidance, resembles Andrew, and bears the Smith token. The household erupts into conflict. The compromise: Natalia must offer incense at the ancestral tablets; if they respond she will be accepted, if not she is declared fake. The episode ends as Natalia prepares for the ritual and the family's verdict hinges on the tablets' response.
At a family ancestral ceremony elders demand a young woman kneel and offer incense. She refuses, calls the ancestors undeserving and insists, "I'm my father's daughter," so they must recognize her. The elders threaten to send her back, demand she hand over control of the household, and promise to make her apologize. She taunts that incense will boost their cultivation and asks for a reaction, then steps forward and declares, "I'm Natalia. Greetings, ancestors." Her bold claim flips the power struggle and leaves the household poised between acceptance or expulsion.
