Soon, Aurora faces a dire decision - turning Tyrell in is obviously the proper thing to do, but societal conventions and family loyalties complicate an already tense situation...

With a large reward at stake and the police closing in on Tyrell, Aurora must decide if she is willing to risk the safety of her family in order to do what is right.
