A visiting woman shows up with her daughter Wendy to demand Wendy be made Zaiden's legal wife, directly confronting current wife Ayla. She boasts Wendy is Adjutant Jensen's daughter and pregnant with an Easton heir. Zaiden indicates support, citing favor with Comm. Neal and treating multiple wives as normal, while Ayla protests betrayal. The visitors escalate by claiming Ayla's shops and even hinting at killing her to enforce compliance. The episode ends with Ayla humiliated and threatened, Zaiden seeming to accept the claim, leaving her on the brink of displacement and danger.
