No date has yet been set for the conference, but Ja'abari expects it to appoint an Arab Palestinian to begin negotiations with the Israeli authorities...
...townspeople accept the servant girl's disappearance, but the sister does not. She begins to grill her stepbrother, who hysterically runs to his parents for aid. To ensure her silence, the father consents to let her marry a man whom she loves-and he despises. At the Greek fete, as Anestis drunkenly dances in celebration of his stepsister's wedding, the servant's body mysteriously rises to the water's surface and begins floating to shore, bringing with it the dissolution of the house of Canalis...
