At a family gathering Ken publicly disowns his mother, Selene Glenn, declaring his father divorced and calling Karen his new mom. Karen and Ken hurl insults and demand Selene apologize; she refuses. Karen orders janitors to "teach her a lesson," and Sam plus the cleaning crew seize Selene. A staff member then reports Mr. Wyler has explicitly ordered the crew to rough her up as a warning for crossing him. Selene is marched away, defiant but powerless, leaving her immediate fate and the family's next move unresolved.
