At home a heated scene opens when a young woman defends her relationship with Steven after her mother forbids her from dating a Zeller. The mother lashes out, citing a ruined love with Zeller's father and demanding obedience, shouting threats. The woman insists she is of age and says Steven hasn't harmed her studies. The argument peaks with superstition that they're bad luck for each other and mutual threats. The episode ends with someone told they are about to be a mom, and she snaps, "I'll start behaving decently when you get married," leaving the ban and pregnancy unresolved.
