After James's release, a fight erupts: Jasper is hurt and relatives accuse James. They remind him he poisoned his grandfather and was spared because Jasper begged, so the family bailed him out expecting gratitude. James denies the attack but admits he posed as young master for a decade and dares them to 'hit me.' He claims his leg was broken and begs his mother to save him. Mom inspects Jasper and orders a doctor. James asks, 'Will you forgive me if I leave the Lynn family?' The family tells him to reflect, and his offer remains unanswered.
