Still grieving the sudden loss of her husband, Kate accepts an invitation from her sister-in-law, Miranda, hoping for comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of sympathy, Miranda shocks her by asking for the baby fund Kate and her late husband had saved to start a family \u2014 suggesting she use it for Miranda\u2019s kids\u2019 college tuition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kate is stunned, but Miranda goes further, handing her a list of chores to do for the week: picking up her kids, helping with homework, and baking cookies. Kate breaks down, unable to believe Miranda\u2019s selfishness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suddenly, there\u2019s a knock at the door. Kate\u2019s mother-in-law, Susan, storms in, having overheard everything through an open window. Furious, she tells Miranda:
“You will never see a dime of that money. What you\u2019ve done today is cruel.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Miranda explodes, but Susan defends Kate, telling her to go home and heal in peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later, Kate receives a bitter text from Miranda blaming her for \u201cturning Mom against me.\u201d Kate deletes it, finally realizing what Peter once told her:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
