The next morning, the family gathers in the garden to discuss the situation. The eldest daughter, "Vivi," has returned to the family after living abroad for a while. She is engaged to marry the youngest son of the family, and the family is relieved to have her in their care. The family is shocked to learn that the eldest daughter is not an illegitimate child, but that the second daughter is an illegitimate one. They are relieved that the child will be cared for by the family. The father is shocked that his son has not been able to identify the man who is in love with the rebellious daughter. He is also shocked that the man is not his son's boyfriend. He tells the family that he is still in search of his son.
