Eliana bursts in to tell her father she's pregnant with triplets. He reacts with fury: Elliott Group was founded by her mother Sarah, so the babies would inherit the company. He and allies declare the pregnancies unacceptable, saying "they can't be born," and plan to move fast, calling the fetus the result of 'some boy toy.' Eliana insists she won't be pushed aside. She states, "I'm pregnant. I can take back Mom's company." The episode closes as Mr. Elliott invites Eliana to his birthday at Everwood Hotel, setting an immediate confrontation between her claim and his plot.
