A woman is rushed to the hospital with needle marks, long-term malnutrition and severe complications after a childbirth four years ago; doctors warn a recent move almost killed her. The household fractures—some demand punishment while Old Mr. Lott and others recall she once loved Mr. Lott. Meanwhile Cyrus, the family's great-grandson, hysterically demands his mother and risks harm until great-grandpa promises she will return for his birthday. Frustrated by five years of no leads, Old Mr. Lott orders Walter to speed up the search, leaving her recovery and reunion unresolved.
