When her husband scoffs, Norma renounces all household duties. Ellis begins to acquiesce as the combined responsibilities become overwhelming. Meanwhile, his brother Ned, a cocaine addict, is attacked by a drug-crazed girl, who tries to blind him with acid.

After Ned is stopped from getting more cocaine by Power, he tells the doctor that Power and Norma are having an affair.
