At an apothecary, Mr. Cross is insulted and sent away after staff call his mixed aphrodisiacs lethal, but one person examines the formula and finds the toxicities balance into a subtle, brilliant prescription and pulls security footage to find him. Mr. Cross later returns, claiming he's healed and ready to lead cultivation; he gives the medicine to Estelle's sick father. The father wakes fully recovered and the family is told the cure came from Estelle's husband. The episode ends with the father staring at Mr. Cross and asking, "Why is it you?"
