She demands a quick divorce; they negotiate fallout. One partner says an important project may delay things; another offers a spinning mill job, which she declines because she plans to open a salon to make wigs. They argue about insurance, internships, and moving into a dorm; she insists she'll earn enough, move out in a week, and proceed with divorce. After she says she's found an apartment, a sudden choking scare forces the other to help: a brief rescue and a curt 'stop talking to me while I'm eating,' and the divorce timetable stays set but unresolved.
When Jessie secretly brings my mother into the couple's home to make the marriage work and let Harkins focus on work, a calm domestic scene turns into confrontation. Mom apologizes for past mistakes, accepts braised pork and praises Jessie's change. Jessie insists the move will restore family life. Harkins, recalling that Jessie once picked on Mom in the countryside, panics and demands she leave because he wasn't told. I try to calm him, but he storms off. A desperate "Wait, Harkins!" ends the episode with the household split and the decision unresolved.
Back home, Harkins' 70-year-old mother erupts over Jessie bossing her, and someone admits regret for having defended Jessie. Harkins insists Jessie has changed and offers to talk, while others urge kindness because Jessie has no relatives in town. A return-home calm—"Welcome home"—collapses into accusation: "Why the hell are you two-faced? You told me you had changed, but you still bullied my mom." The accused answers, "When did I do that?" The episode closes on that raw charge and an unresolved denial, leaving who to believe uncertain.
A household explodes when a woman confronts Harkins after an elderly relative is brought back: "My mom is almost 70. How could you enslave her?" Harkins insists he never asked to care for her and had sent her to the countryside. Money and blame surface when someone offers cash. Someone defends Jessie, saying she cleaned the yard, cooked, and bought clothes. Harkins apologizes; the apology is accepted but mistrust remains. Quoting "love can't be forced," the group decides, "Let's go to the City Hall now," leaving the family's trust unresolved.
