Donald erupts during a family meeting, overturning a table and demanding to split from the Chester family after being accused of siding with Jasmine. His mother berates him and warns he'll be ruined. Donald later collapses and wakes to learn Sharon was bullied; he swears he won't divorce, announces he has split from the Chesters, and vows to make amends for how Yolanda and Sharon were treated. When their mother faints from hunger, Donald heads out to find food, leaving Yolanda to care for her—trust fragile and the family's survival uncertain.
