Beth Stone is dragged before the grieving Moores, accused of starting the fire that killed their daughter and left the girl's mother paralyzed. They force her to kneel and demand an explanation as accusations and threats escalate. Fred offers to take the fall, but the family pushes a harsher fix: Beth must marry Colin to placate the Moores. A brutal ultimatum follows—refuse and her brother will be killed—and she discovers her inheritance is contractually tied to their approval. The episode ends with Beth facing an impossible choice that will decide her brother's fate.
