Emma is pregnant by Turner Bates. The same Turner Bates who earlier in the season tried to abduct Emma, slapped her around, locked her in a cabin in an effort to blackmail Angela about Jason's death. Emma is floating around in a romantic haze, writing poems to Turner. When she returns home after wandering off, yet again, her sister Julia calls a doctor. The doctor says Emma's fine and oh, by the way, she's pregnant. Lance is concerned that a grandchild will interfere with his inheritance. Angela thinks the baby would be good for Emma and could be an option if Lance proved to be an unworthy heir. What kind of mother would Emma be? She can't even take care of herself. It's strange that the family never considered this possibility. Emma, with her breathy dreamy voice, constant wandering off, and living in a fantasy world is increasingly annoying. Emma goes back to the winery, reliving the night that Jason died. Lance follows her, concerned but Emma takes a tumble down the stairs.
Another annoying character is Vickie. She's is a whiny, privileged, brat. There's also a side story about the vineyard workers being extorted.
