the atmosphere becomes tense as Albus speaks, prompting a heavy silence that grips everyone in the room, especially Theodore. Penelope is filled with dread at the prospect of a DNA test, which she views as a threat to her carefully constructed identity. Her internal panic grows as she realizes that the Hutton family is more perceptive than she had anticipated.

Despite the pendant and birthmark that should confirm her identity, the insistence on a DNA test feels like a tightening noose around her neck, leaving her desperate to find a way to delay or prevent it. Megan attempts to take charge of the situation, acknowledging her oversight and agreeing to proceed with the DNA test. Diana, however, remains calm and authoritative, suggesting that Leon Kingston, her ex-husband, could facilitate the test.

This revelation creates tension, as Megan expresses concern about involving Leon in family matters, despite the longstanding relationship between the Huttons and Kingstons. The unfinished divorce adds further complexity to the dynamics at play.

As the meeting concludes, the characters exit the room, and Penelope's excitement grows.

Meanwhile, Sydney, confused and anxious, searches for Florence, only to find that she has also disappeared. This absence heightens Sydney's unease, especially as the police officers, initially prepared to question Penelope, are now leaving the scene without taking her in. The shift in circumstances sends a chill through Sydney as she realizes that Penelope is gaining favor with the Huttons.
