Julia vows to get back what rightfully belongs to the Pallister's, but her mother saves the day by agreeing to marry Mr. Walker so that the family can continue living there. Julia and new stepfather do not get along with each other. Makepeace decides to marry his stepdaughter off to Adam Warrender; the Warrenders have long been historical enemies of the Pallisters. Julia informs Adam that she is in love with another man named Christopher Wren.
