However the parents have a secret, they have another child one they adopted out because she was born out of wedlock, a sin against their Christian beliefs, one that their families did not want to be shamed for so they were forced to give the child up.

 When the parents return from the doctors they argue about what to do about the child they once gave up. The father wants to ask the daughter for help but the mother is against the idea.
