When Sean suddenly announces he has a wife and a child—met on the first snowy day—he cancels plans and brings them to the family home. Brothers congratulate him, but household members sneer: Shirley is called a country bumpkin and the child's legitimacy is questioned. The hostess asserts social rank, orders Shirley out and calls her a servant, and Shirley fights back. Sean interrupts and formally introduces her to Henry: "This is my wife, Shirley Jensen." Henry's cool "Hmm" closes the episode, leaving Shirley's acceptance in the house and the inheritance stakes unresolved.
