A child waits for her mother with a homemade dress meant as a surprise. At a community gathering she is spotted wearing it and accused of stealing Julia's dance costume. Women order her to take it off, insult her and claim her mother never cares. The child insists the dress is hers but the crowd refuses to believe her and warns that if Julia's dress is dirtied her mother will beat her. The episode ends with the child humiliated and trapped between public shame and the looming punishment at home.
