At a tense family confrontation, Jane is asked by her mother to take the blame for Mr. Sharp's fall because her household registration isn't under the family. Jane, 18 and just admitted to Oxbridge, refuses; her mother pleads that jail would disgrace them and promises rewards after release. Pressure spikes when Yvonne threatens suicide — "If you won't forgive me, then I won't live" — and relatives shout to stop her while accusing Jane of trying to kill Yvonne. The episode ends with Jane suddenly unable to control her body, crying for help as accusations and Yvonne's crisis remain unresolved.
