Mrs. Turner receives a paternity report proving Eva isn't her biological daughter, sparking a confrontation. Family members call Eva a fraud, and the woman who was taken in admits she pushed Mrs. Turner from the balcony to hide the secret. She taunts Eva that three years ago a single word from her could have sent Eva to a reformatory, and now she can again convince the family Eva murdered their mother. Eva pleads, "Don't hurt my mom," as the confessor prepares to expose and frame her, leaving Eva's fate unresolved.
