Mom and her children, Dawn and Cade, are starving; Mom sold her watch to buy buns and tells them food is the priority. With local thugs threatening to seize their house, she decides they must travel the next day to see Dad — Edwin — and ask for help. They drive about a hundred kilometers, recalling he never visited them before, and present themselves at Mr. Smith's home as his family. The episode closes as someone calls out, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith, you have a guest," leaving their appeal unresolved.
