Beulah Harris Confronts Farm Tensions and Family Strife
In a strained Westward farming household, Mary confronts husband John Harris over control of the farm and Beulah's future. Beulah defends Jim, a trusted hired man, while Allan's bias toward Travers and mounting family tensions reveal a broader shift toward seeking "something better."
