At a family gathering, Lucille—returned from the countryside—is ridiculed as uncivilized by relatives and reproached by her grandmother. A boastful family member even declares himself a general and mocks her education. To prove herself, Lucille accepts a challenge to finish a fragment of the ancestral poem that no one has completed. She asks, "Bring me a brush and ink," writes a line, and reveals handwriting identical to the ancestor's. The room goes silent; relatives are stunned. The episode ends on their shocked faces, the matching script undermining their insults and leaving her true standing unresolved.
