In a tense family meeting the patriarch names Leroy—recently returned and long cast out—as heir. Relatives erupt, arguing Leroy was expelled and that legitimate son Sean should inherit. Jack insists he was manipulated into forcing his wife and son out and is restoring Leroy. The clash escalates when Jack accuses someone of harming Leroy’s mother, provoking warnings about legal consequences. A son answers with a stark ultimatum: "If you insist on making this bastard the heir, I'll cut ties with you," leaving the inheritance decision and family bonds hanging unresolved.
