While She Starved - Episode 7

At a shared meal, Fern refuses Edwin’s order to take the children home after a flood ruined their house and left them without food. Edwin insists he has been sending money every month, while Fern says she received nothing and the kids will starve. The argument escalates when Edwin reveals he hands his salary and allowance to Vera to forward; they then learn Vera 'forgot' to send the funds, possibly for months or even three years, leaving the household stunned and the practical question of feeding the children unresolved.
