At a tense gathering, people accuse each other after Daxton is found beaten; the host's old tactic of using a child's injury to extort food reappears. Old Mrs. Ford arrives with her injured grandson and demands compensation, while the other side insists Daxton hit Lola first and refuses to apologize. Insults and threats escalate—one woman threatens to hit Emily—and Blake freezes as Julian's group boasts their numbers. Mrs. Ford presses for retribution; the rival group threatens to use their majority to bully them. The episode closes as a defiant voice taunts, "Are you sure you outnumber us?"
