Quella appears unannounced and declares she is Lydia's sister, but Lydia rejects her as a wretch. Others recount past rescues to prove Quella's identity — one speaker says he carried her through a blizzard and later took three poisoned arrows for her. Your Highness accepts her claim. Quella then tells him, "With today's life-saving grace, you owe me three lives now." The family offers a tentative welcome and the mother shows joy, but the episode closes with relatives asking where the child's father is, leaving that question unresolved.
