When Lark’s sister, Ava, answers the door, Lark introduces Lachlan. Ava is astonished. As Lachlan tries to charm Ava and Lark’s mother, Nina, Ethel tells the extremely shocked family that Lachlan and Lark wanted to marry quickly so that Ethel could be there. Lark is pained by her stepdad’s disappointment in her decision not to invite the rest of her family to the wedding.
Lachlan and Lark tell the family that they became close during Rowan and Sloane’s wedding preparations. Ethel abruptly reveals that she has appointed Lark as the chief security officer of her company. Nina calls Lachlan a killer, but Lark defends him and says that he is not the only killer in the family. Lark tosses her new driver’s license onto the table, showing her new name, and everyone is shocked that she has changed her last name from Montague to Kane. Lark’s stepfather gives his blessing by offering to host a celebration, but he is clearly still troubled and hurt. When Lark and Lachlan leave, Ethel tells them that she believes they have sowed enough doubt to keep Lachlan safe.
