Beth returns and is immediately confronted by residents who accuse her of seducing Nora’s boyfriend. They threaten her, remind her that the uncle owns the house and that her brother has 'lost his mind,' so no one can protect her. Beth refuses to be driven out and is berated as ungrateful. Later she confronts Fred, her father, asking why he called her back. He vows to go to the Moores and force Colin to marry her, adding, 'There are blood debts between me and him,' leaving Beth’s future hanging.
