Confrontation opens the episode: Nancy—who insists she be called Amy—is grilled about Tommy after saying he feeds her cakes, watches TV, and sleeps beside her. The speaker warns that "bad guys" may target Tommy and orders Nancy to find where he went and whom he met so help can be sent. Nancy refuses, is accused of lying, slapped and threatened with eviction, then fights back, citing Tommy's rule to repay bullies. The scuffle breaks when someone calls for Penny; witnesses first declare Joan dead, then one shouts, "It's really her!"
