The Cost of a Cure
- Lakshmi is ill, sweating and dreaming of people who are no longer in her life; she alternates between both fever and chills.
- After Harish feels her forehead, he gets Mumtaz, who accuses Lakshmi of faking it—then asks her if she's been washing.
- Lakshmi loses track of space and time. She dreams of people caring for her, of escaping the house.
- When she awakens, Mumtaz gives her a couple pills, and Lakshmi loves her for caring for her.
- After Lakshmi swallows the pills, Mumtaz adds the cost of the medicine to Lakshmi's debt.
