Portia tells her mother she can support herself and will auction an antique to pay Rowan's medical bills, insisting she’s cut ties with the McCalls and that her birth mother is out of her life. A caller from the McCall circle confronts her, shaming her, demanding repayment for years of medical funds and threatening a lawyer’s letter while hinting at exposing her link to Sabine. Portia refuses and the dispute escalates into legal threats. Later, a man arrives saying, "To sleep with me," per a grandmother's orders, leaving Portia's next move uncertain.
