After a direct threat—I'll confront her!—the household sits down to eat, still reeling from a recent attempt to harm someone and from Mom unexpectedly saving that person. Betty and the daughters argue over whether Mom has genuinely changed. The episode centers on Dave, who is excluded from the table: Julie insists he has no seat and Mom tells him to eat on the ground. Daughters protest and tempers flare. Jessie is sent to fetch a stool, patching the moment while the family's trust in Mom and her motives remains unresolved.
