At a family gathering they argue over whether Lillian should stay or leave while Ms. Sullivan needs care. Stefan cuts through the bickering, ordering that helping Ms. Sullivan heal comes first; appearances and other matters must wait. Plans are made to drive Lillian home while Mom is told to remain and focus on treatment, reassured that Mrs. Hodgins will look after her. A guest mutters about wealthy hypocrisy, then Mrs. Hodgins asks Ms. Harper to stay and, in a softer beat, requests sausages tomorrow for Edward and herself. Ms. Harper must now choose whether to stay and help, leaving the treatment outcome unresolved.
