At a family gathering where Conrad is set to join the Zane family, relatives present a ginkgo tree planted twenty years earlier. The celebration collapses when Harvey admits he cut the tree down because it blocked his path; Conrad attacks him. Harvey apologizes and says he hurt his leg, but Conrad's sisters call the tree 'trash' and rally around Conrad. Luna orders, "Apologize to Harvey right now, or leave the Lowe family!" Conrad vows to sever ties. Sophie arrives to pick him up for the marriage, leaving Conrad with an immediate, unresolved choice.
