Debt collectors trash the household after a resident's gambling left a 300-tael shortfall. Betty and others scramble to clean up while a worried woman—aware her "old self" is back—keeps low profile. The mother confronts the gambler and accuses her; Dave was almost struck, raising the stakes and the need to hide the situation. The woman realizes the ring she carries has limited uses and can't support them, so she resolves to hunt for a living in this ancient time. With collectors demanding payment, settling the 300 taels becomes the urgent, unresolved priority.
