At a family banquet, Sierra publicly exposes a woman presented as the fake Master Clem, stopping Mr. Reid from giving 10 million to a fraud. Mr. Reid angrily accuses Stella—whom he raised—of deception, threatens her, and orders Connor to remove her. Stella insists she's telling the truth but is humiliated and taken away as guests shift their praise to Sierra. Sierra says she spoke up to protect the Reids' money and is immediately asked to restore clients' works. She announces she'll return to the institute to restore a national-treasure artwork, leaving the family’s reputation and finances in immediate doubt.
