Caleb bursts into the Zeller home with a scratched face, and his family demands a doctor and justice. Victor and the elders blame a Finch woman, summon police, and insist Caleb must divorce her. Giselle, introduced as a Finch, admits she hit Caleb until he agreed to marry her — a revelation that enrages the Zellers because Caleb is their sole heir and the marriage was arranged by his grandfather. Guards are ordered to eject Giselle; she is dragged out but taunts, "My super strength came with me!" leaving the family to decide the next move.
