Mr. Bacon is confronted about a lie from six years ago: he faked Nancy's death to make his son, Yale, return home. Their conversation escalates as Bacon angrily points out that Yale remains obsessed with Nancy and refuses to marry, threatening the family's future. The stress triggers Bacon's heart condition. Later, he meets two children, Cindy and Norman, who are fundraising for their sick mother and resemble Yale as a boy. Learning they are six years old and fatherless, Bacon suspects they might be Yale's. He gives them a blank check and his address, then secretly orders a swift paternity test.
