At a family dinner Meave is publicly blamed for bad luck after seeing something she shouldn't have. Relatives trade gossip, women complain rich men have mistresses, grandma leans on superstition, and Meave is lectured about her duties as a daughter-in-law to John. The argument escalates into accusations and humiliation. Meave, fed up, says she knows how to lose gracefully and then demands a divorce. Voices split between threats, pity, and an offer to take Meave to the city; the household fractures and the episode closes on a tense, unresolved fallout with a charged line about karma and lightning.
