At a solemn oath ceremony, family heads pledge loyalty to the Blackwell head while elders recount how Mom—hailed as Great-grandma—walked nine states to secure survival for thirty-two clans. A younger relative admits past neglect and vows, “I won’t leave you now.” The celebration turns urgent when leaders warn the blood oath has resurfaced; if all clans move at once, it will shake the world. Jonah asks, "Can our family really command the thirty-two clans?" Heads are already en route, leaving Jonah uncertain as the clans converge and the world braces for change.
