At a chaotic wartime ceremony, Sierra—who suddenly woke as the unloved wife of Ethan Nacht—finds herself forced by the crowd to "marry a chicken" while Ethan is absent. Soldiers report an ambush meant to stop the wedding; captives are detained but Ethan is still away. Later, Leo falls down stairs and breaks his leg, and bystanders accuse Sierra of pushing him. Her protests are drowned out as elders demand retribution. The episode ends with Sierra facing interrogation and her father's looming decision, while someone asks, "Who is the ninth?"
