At a busy market, Rhea and Yvette spot a mysterious vendor and realize it’s Murphy, the younger brother the Sinclairs reclaimed five years ago. The family confronts him for allegedly staging the meeting and demands he admit his mistake and apologize to Yves to be allowed home. Murphy refuses, boasting he has the Magic Spring and a bright future after being banished. Rhea promises reinstatement if he apologizes. In the turning beat Murphy asks, "If I apologize, will you let me go home?" then agrees—leaving his sincerity and the family’s next move unresolved.
