Great-Grandmother is Nine Years Old - Episode 13

Elaine uncovers the thirty-two clans' blood oath—literally written in blood—and drags her mother and Laura into a furious household confrontation. Shock and disgust give way to history as Mom reminds them the family once dominated business and built a century-old foundation. Elaine blames herself for the decline; Mom counters she shouldn't have been left alone and points out someone "just recovered" and remains childlike. Tensions escalate into a public reckoning when a speaker declares, "the Burnetts will submit to the Blackwell head and seal our loyalty in blood," leaving the family staring at that forced pledge.
