Ian comes home after six years abroad with his family to make amends with Joyce and Mike. At a market a lone boy buying yarn for his detained mother draws attention—his double eyelids, ears and a mole on his palm match Ian's childhood features. Relatives tease Ian about a possible illegitimate child; Ian insists Joyce is the only person in his life. The boy's purpose—knitting a scarf for his mother—and his direction toward the family's residence escalate suspicion. The episode ends with the household unsettled as the boy approaches, leaving the question of his connection to Joyce unresolved.
