When their father discovers Lucas’s watch in Nathan’s room, he angrily accuses Nathan of stealing and lying, forces him to kneel and forbids him from the main house, ordering him into a back storeroom to reflect. Nathan later asks their mother to guarantee a scholarship so he can study abroad, but she refuses, saying Millers' sons don't need to apply and scolding him for lacking proper education. She instead reassures Lucas and promises to buy clothes for his trip. The episode ends with Nathan punished, denied the guarantee, and isolated, his chance to leave now in doubt.
