At a family confrontation, elders berate the decision to send Cilla, "your daughter," to university and scorn her for not carrying on the family bloodline. They worry who will marry the Carters' son and how to pay for Quincy's college. One woman offers to take Cilla's place and marry him to secure the family's future. Wedding gifts totaling $68,000 are announced, ostensibly covering Quincy's tuition. In the hospital a newborn girl is rejected - "You promised to deliver a boy... I don't want her!" - and Paige replies, "I won't let you down," leaving the baby's fate uncertain.
