At a high-society gathering, friends tease Yarden about fidelity and gossip that the Scott family's missing younger daughter might return and threaten his engagement, though Samuel would resist any switch. They normalize keeping mistresses and pressure Yarden about whether he'll remain 'faithful.' The scene cuts to a bar where men circle a young woman, offering drinks. She refuses: 'Sorry, I don't drink.' They seize her and force the glass on her, escalating to coercion, and the episode ends with her still being forced to drink, an immediate unresolved danger.
