At a family gathering the legitimate daughter of the Xander family is publicly denounced for 'messing around' with a man and accused of poisoning the original owner. Relatives and her sister hurl shame and demand how the family can face anyone. The man with her confronts Lord Zamora, saying Zamora is poisoned by Fathomfrost while he suffers Dragonfire Toxin, and offers mutual help. She denies hiring him and refuses the insults, then forces the crowd to look closer. All eyes turn to the man as she dares them to see who he really is, leaving her fate unresolved.
