Confrontation opens with the Sinclair family accusing Murphy of pushing Yves, their adopted son, into depression and insanity. Yves is terrified as relatives, led by Rhea, insult Murphy and demand she repent. Murphy lashes out, rejects their control and declares, "I don't belong in the Sinclair family, and I don't want to!" The family demands an apology and banishes her to the countryside to repent. Instead of submitting, Murphy vows to stay, live freely and farm. The episode ends when someone spots a jade pendant, an abrupt discovery that unsettles her new choice.
