At a family celebration, Lillie is praised for securing the rare Mr. Giles invitation — the family claims it's due to her talent while secretly admitting it cost five years of Issac's lifespan and agreeing not to tell Scott. They urge Issac to greet the honored guest, but he says he's unwell and refuses. Guests accuse him of feigning illness; someone notices his voice is off. The family fears the sacrifice may have physically harmed him. The episode ends with Issac's weakened voice raising the urgent question: has the sacrifice wounded him, and will the secret be exposed?
