Colette (Ms. Fisher) returns to find her grandfather, Old Mr. Fisher, gravely ill and obsessed with arranging her marriage. He names Marc Newton, the Newtons' second son, and Colette reluctantly promises to marry to ease his last days. Marc, meanwhile, is confronted by his own grandfather with an ultimatum: marry the Fisher heiress or give up the family name. Pressured, Marc vows to "make every one of you regret it" and agrees, saying, "I'll marry Colette." The episode ends with a forced engagement sealed but simmering with resentment.
