Extended Summary

Leah berates Elijah over telling his parents to tone things down. She told him it was the wedding that was stressing her out, not them. Elijah disputes this, but a stern look from Leah sees him take responsibility for the misunderstanding. Lijuan and Song are still adamant they are leaving so Leah seeks advice from Irene re what to do. Irene tells her to lie – it’s the only way. She needs to tell Song and Lijuan how much she needs them around – but Leah refuses. Meanwhile, Elijah is seeking similar advice from Miles. He too suggests lying and surprisingly Elijah agrees. He’s not happy about it, but feels it’s the only way to make peace. Back at the house, Elijah is in the middle of telling his parents he had cold feet over the wedding and made up the fact Leah was feeling overwhelmed, when Leah arrives home. She tells Lijuan that she was feeling stressed having them around, but they probably feel a bit stressed by her, too. That’s what families do. Lijuan appreciates her honesty and chastises Elijah for lying. She thinks Leah has great integrity and will make a wonderful wife.
