At a family garage, a sports car meant as Zane’s eighteenth-birthday gift sparks a confrontation when Fred accuses his parents of favoring Zane, says he’s not blood-related and threatens to leave. The parents argue: Mom insists Zane is her son, a brother defends him, and Fred recounts his years of hardship. Dad tries to placate Fred, promises to make it right, then hands him the car key and declares that, from today, the car is his. The family is stunned; Fred must now choose whether to accept the car and stay or leave.
