Toward the Arms That Wait - Episode 3

At a family gathering the patriarch, Mr. Wilde, arrives with Sandra, a young woman he once found and helped after she was framed two years earlier. Siblings sneer—calling him late-life love and guessing she's a money-seeker—while one brother refuses to look. Mr. Wilde introduces her and tells her, "From now on, this is your home, too," then sends for a meal. Brothers trade thinly veiled insults—"I may let you be my sister"—and note Simon is absent in a meeting. She is lodged in the house, but distrust and Simon's missing presence leave her acceptance fragile.
