Harley is shoved from a market stall by a boss demanding payment; bystanders stop the assault and someone helps her up. At home Mrs. Johnson brings news that a wealthy visitor has come to adopt Harley, offering relief but leaving her sister Sherry behind. Harley vows, "I won't leave you," and refuses to go. She returns to night shifts to pay for Sherry's costly imported nutrient solution. At the end she’s told Mr. Morris will be there and that amusing him tonight could earn the money — leaving Harley to decide whether to do it.
