At a tense gathering, Fiona Young is unveiled as Annie's new stepmom — "I married Ethan, so I'm her stepmom," she says — and someone identifies Annie as Roxelle's daughter. Guests reveal Annie was declared stillborn, then openly shame Roxelle as an exiled woman and one person threatens the child, warning they won't let Roxelle marry Ethan "using this kid." Ethan insists he needs no one's approval, while others recognize Fiona as his childhood friend. The episode ends with Fiona determined to find out who the exiled Roxelle really is, foreshadowing a direct confrontation.
