Eve is dragged into a family confrontation after being lured here under false pretenses. Her relatives berate her for being an unwed mother and for a childhood illness that left her in a wheelchair, calling her a burden. A companion comforts Eve, but the family reveals their plan: they will make her sleep with Mr. Larson so he marries her, allowing them to seize her Solis Group shares and sell her drug project. They hold her down and try to force water on her; she cries, "I won't drink it!" They insist she'll drink, forcing an immediate, high-stakes choice.
