At the clinic Lena rushes to treat a feverish eight-year-old, Yara, surprising villagers who assumed she'd sell the child. Despite distrust rooted in Lena's reputation, she gives a fever-reducing injection and orders tests. The diagnosis is pneumonia and Yara must stay for observation, but hospitalization requires immediate cash. Their mother insists she won't sell any children, yet a terrified sibling pleads, offering themselves to be sold to pay the bills. The episode closes with Yara admitted and the household scrambling for money, the child’s offer forcing an urgent, painful decision.
