A tender bath scene becomes confrontational when Lena starts wiping Syrus and Grandma, watching outside, admits she pushed him to marry after the car accident that took his legs and parents. Grandma urges Syrus to accept Lena and build a life together. Lena says she was only putting on a show for Grandma, but Syrus rebuffs her, insisting he has people to care for him and telling her to take a shower. Grandma leaves after pressing the marriage point. The episode ends with Lena paused at the doorway as Syrus's refusal hangs unresolved.
