After ordering clothes, a dossier on Ivy is handed over. It reveals she was switched at birth, raised by an adoptive mother who worked for the Inwoods, forbidden to attend school and abused, until an artist rescued her and taught her to paint. At sixteen her adoptive father tried to sexually assault her; she fought, called police, and discovered she was an Inwood. During questioning, Mr. Blythe's drunkenness excuse collapses—he did it sober. They jump in the car for the mall, and a child shouts, "that woman looks like Ivy," forcing an immediate choice.
