Jan says she can help out; the dubious Mrs. Shane says Jan should move in with them before the wedding as a test. The older woman works Jan mercilessly; Jan suspects Mrs. Shane isn’t really as helpless as she claims. Jan tries to trick Mrs. Shane into revealing her true state of health by starting a fire, but this doesn’t work. However, Jed overhears his mother telling Jan that she’ll never allow her son to get married and leave her. Jed and Jan wed and Mrs. Shane has a “miraculous recovery.”
