At a riverside, Ian—from Granton to recover—wakes after jumping into a banned river and is scolded by a local for risking drowning. He admits he fled a suffocating house and, in a dark turn, mutters, "I'll just find another way to end it then," revealing self-destructive intent. Back home, a young woman returns to her strict grandmother, who orders her to dig wild greens. The granddaughter pleads, "Please don't hate me," as the grandmother coldly asks, "How are you going to get by once I'm gone?" The episode closes with both characters left alone and urgent choices looming.
