During a medical confrontation, Irina cries for Ms. Sutton as Nadine is accused of unethical surgery; Nadine answers a threat with a warning about her scalpel. Afterward Nadine's mother confronts her, refuses a divorce, and blackmails her: bear a child with Harry to help seize control of the Turner Group. Mom promises treatment for Nadine's father and $5 million, then threatens exposure of their nonexistent marriage and to unplug his oxygen. Nadine reluctantly agrees. Mom gives three months to conceive or will force artificial insemination. Hank's comment—father identity shouldn’t matter—leaves paternity and power in question.
