Ruby goes to the registry to replace a chewed marriage certificate and is told the document is fake. She confronts Zephyr, who admits they used a forged certificate and fears Lily—the Walter family's legal wife—will expel him if she finds out. Zephyr, recently told he has less than a year to live, asks Ruby to keep the secret while he remains publicly with Lily. Lily discovers the affair and angrily heads to Nolan University to recruit a healthy student to father her child. The episode ends as Lily rushes to the university, putting Ruby and Zephyr's deception on the line.
