General Topp calls: the soul arbiter — who controls death and reincarnation — will attend a welcome party in three days and present three artifacts. The Cohen family scrambles to win favor, praising Jared and dismissing Quinn as a disgrace. At Katie’s birthday the family publicly humiliates Quinn, orders her to change, and Mable escorts her upstairs. A woman coldly admits, "I hired those women," linking Quinn’s three-year imprisonment to a setup. Quinn confronts her, answers "Of course," then snaps, "I wish I could kill you." The outburst leaves the family stunned as the arbiter’s visit approaches.
