At the hospital Nancy begs a doctor to save her brother Harold, but the doctor says leukemia surgery is unaffordable. Nancy pledges to raise the money; Harold tells her not to waste it. At home the parents stage Harold’s illness to appear poor. Harold protests being forced to fake sickness and lie. The parents admit their plan: they brought Nancy back to push her into marrying the Peters family so the bride price can pay for Harold’s treatment. Nancy refuses the Peters son; Harold, pressured, agrees, and the family keeps the deception, leaving Nancy's response unknown.
