Portia bursts out of a birthday gathering with a packed suitcase, accusing her family and Sabine of stealing her fiancé and repeatedly harming her. She lists concrete abuses: a late-night needle in her arm, repeated blood draws that nearly killed her, forced sedation, a hair cut and a skin graft given to Sabine. Family members defend Sabine as ill, cite Enzo and Mom’s busy schedules, and insist Portia, 'a McCall,' should care for Sabine. After the cake she announces, "I have nothing to do with this family," and walks out, severing ties and leaving Sabine's care unresolved.
