In a heated family confrontation elders accuse Helen of protecting a mysterious girl, accusing her of harboring an illegitimate child and 'letting a threat into our home.' Elaine accepts blame while Great-grandma refuses to be appeased and pulls Jonah aside, insisting the girl has seen much and must be watched. Suddenly reports arrive: Golden Needles saved Old Mrs. Blackwell and the long-awaited Blackwell head has appeared. A longtime follower announces he will repay his debt and demands a grand gift. The episode ends with that pledge unresolved, the household split and a powerful ally emerging.
