Confronted by a wealthy woman who claims she paid a surgery fee, Lad is offered 100 million to impregnate Lianne with a son within a year. He initially refuses, saying he answered the ad only because his mother needed money and that debt is now settled. Meanwhile Evie pressures Francis to propose to Helen to calm the family. Later Lad is told Lianne is single and is asked to marry her; he unexpectedly agrees—"I will!"—and is instructed to wait at City Hall at nine tomorrow, leaving the paid-arrangement plan unresolved.
