Leroy returns to a family meeting and is immediately accused by a man of hitting his woman. A heated argument erupts as Uncle Jack and relatives press both sides. Someone reminds everyone that Emily used to be Leroy's girlfriend and later became involved with the accuser, turning past favors and money into fresh insults. Threats fly and relatives mock Leroy's kindness as 'groveling.' Leroy says he's back to bring his mother and reclaim her share of the family business. Jack snarls that they were driven out and refuses the claim, leaving the inheritance fight unresolved.
