After a bath, Mother tends to her two children, Lola and Ryan, then scolds them for stealing food. The conflict flips when she apologizes—"I was wrong"—and promises never to hit them again, offering to seal that vow "one hundred years." The children accept the apology and forgive her. The narrator, who once dominated the business world, vows to raise the children well and never let them suffer again. The household settles into unexpected peace, and the episode closes on a fragile beat: everyone hopes this new gentleness will last.
