Flirtation Beneath Family Smiles - Episode 5

At a family banquet Laura returns late and finds Shirley pushed aside by Dora, who accuses Laura of having been sent abroad and stealing "my brother" and Grandpa's affection — implicitly tying Adrian to the dispute. Dora forbids Shirley from sitting next to Adrian and threatens to starve herself. Others scold Dora and tell Laura to sit with the servants, escalating the humiliation. The room shifts when someone quietly calls, "Come here. Sit with me," offering Shirley a place at the table. The episode ends on that offer, with Dora's protest unresolved and the family split over whom to side with.
