Nate puts on a self-sacrificing act, leading Logan Curran to scold Dustin for his attitude after fifteen years at Clearwind Sect. Logan and Mary Blake demand Dustin marry Miss Collins. Dustin reminds them they cast him out for Nate, yet now expect him to become a dying woman's live-in widower. Accompanied by Kira Smith, Linda Collins wheels in, overhears the remarks, cancels the marriage, and Dustin recognizes her.
Nate acts self-sacrificing in the mansion living room. Logan Curran reprimands Dustin for his disrespectful attitude after fifteen years away at Clearwind Sect. Both Logan and Mary Blake order Dustin to accept the arranged marriage to Miss Collins.
Dustin hits back at his parents. He reminds them that they previously kicked him out so Nate could take the bride. Now that Linda Collins is terminally ill, they expect Dustin to step in as a live-in widower.
Linda Collins wheels into the room alongside Kira Smith after hearing the conversation. She immediately cancels the planned marriage. Logan panics and tries to explain away the harsh words, while Dustin looks at Linda and recognizes her.
“If I remember correctly, you kicked me out years ago just so Nate could marry her instead. Why should I marry her now?”
“If that's how you see me, then the engagement is off.”
“It's you!”
Linda Collins cuts off ties with the Curran family on the spot after hearing Dustin's words. While Logan Curran frantically tries to salvage the arrangement and excuse the insult, Dustin stares at Linda in disbelief and blurts out that he knows her. How does Dustin know Linda, and will she still walk away from the marriage?
