At a crowded breakfast the family erupts—accusing her of risking herself and squabbling over the one egg reserved for Eason; David berates Sharon as indifferent until another family member defends Blaire as his sister. Tension shifts when Blaire examines Edward’s immobilized leg and insists she can help, saying her medical skills surpass this era's. Edward refuses, calling it beyond treatment. As she moves to check his leg someone cries, "No! Blaire!" leaving her action unresolved.
