Charles Freeman attempts to console his sister Arabella upon the death of her love, Justine. It pains him that Arabella blames him for not looking after Justine during her time passing as an enlisted soldier.
Harriet Freeman clutches Baby Grace (daughter of Charles and Union General Francis Channing Barlow) while looking on at Justine’s corpse. The details on the Freeman Family mausoleum reflect the source of the family’s wealth through whaling.
Harriet wonders how long Charles will be able to conceal Baby Grace’s parentage from Arabella who believes that Baby Grace is the daughter of her fallen lover, Justine. There’s more at stake than Charles’ pride; he has General Barlow’s identity to consider as Barlow is passing as a cis man.
