Episode 4 · Lana, Margaret, Brenda
Lana and Ruby find Carlo kneeling barefoot in a puddle while the nanny scolds him. Lana steps in, lifts Carlo, and hands him her slippers. When the nanny argues, Lana knocks her down and traps her with her foot. The nanny claims the children need strict discipline without a mother. Lana slaps her twice and declares herself the mistress. Lana then walks Carlo and Ruby into the dining room to face Margaret.
Ruby leads Lana into the upstairs hallway, where they find Carlo. The boy is kneeling bare-legged in a puddle of spilled water. Standing right over him, the elderly nanny yells at him and scolds him without stopping.
The nanny attempts to justify her harsh punishment. Lana immediately lifts Carlo off the cold floor and gives him her own slippers. When the nanny continues to argue back, Lana pushes the servant to the ground and pins her down with a foot.
The nanny insists the children lack a mother and require discipline. Lana slaps the nanny across the face twice. She proclaims herself Ronan's legal wife and the mistress of the estate, then demands the nanny kneel or face security.
After handling the nanny, Lana escorts Carlo and Ruby downstairs. She walks them directly into the family dining room. Ronan's relatives Grant and Brenda sit at the table alongside grandmother Margaret, watching the three of them arrive.
“Your job is to put shoes on the kid, not make him kneel in a puddle to teach him a lesson.”
“These two have no mother. If we don't discipline them, the Don will blame us when he comes back.”
“I am Ronan's legally registered wife. I am the mother of those two children. I am the lady of this house.”
“Quite the entrance. On your first morning as a bride, you make an old woman wait for you?”
Lana arrives at the breakfast table with Carlo and Ruby by her side. Instead of welcoming her, Margaret openly criticizes her for keeping the family waiting on her first morning as Ronan's bride. How will Lana respond to Margaret's hostility, and will the Greco relatives continue to mistreat the children in front of her?
