The idea of a little fad makes Jody very sad. He is unable to get her out of his head so he decides to bring her home. He discusses this with his father but he hesitates. However, he makes her realize that it was his responsibility as he killed Doe.
The father now agrees with Jody and allows him to do so. In addition, he reminds Jodie that she will need her mother's permission. Jodi also talks to her mother about the same. She is surprised when she first hears the idea. Jody then realizes that leaving Fon alone would be ungrateful.
Dr. Wilson also helps Jodie convince her mother. He says that nothing comes for free and now they have to pay for it. The mill-wheel also chaps to take Jodi into the forest. Mom now only agrees on the condition that Jodie keeps her promise.
