 Elizabeth involves herself to a group of young upper-class woman, who are suffragettes. A plot is hatched to demonstrate in front of the home of a MP who sits on a committee with the Home Office. Rose is suspicious and worried that Elizabeth will find herself in trouble. She follows Elizabeth to the demonstration and all of the assembled women are arrested, including Rose. A wealthy entrepreneur, Mr. Julius Karekin, witnesses the mêlée and posts bails for Elizabeth before she is jailed. Rose remains behind bars and witnesses the horror of forced-feeding and the overall bad treatment the imprisoned women receive. Elizabeth visits the home of Mr. Karekin and begs him to use his influence to have her fellow activists and Rose released. Karekin is a parvenu and complies and a traumatized Rose returns to Eaton Place. For Julius Karekin, attaching himself to Elizabeth and, by extension to the Bellamy name, may prove very useful to him.
