After learning the family has been selected for an essentially forced relocation to Kentucky under the Homestead Act, Herman (Morgan Spector) looks to make a challenge in court, while Bess (Zoe Kazan) and Philip (Azhy Robertson) appeal to Bengelsdorf (John Turturro) and Evelyn (Winona Ryder), respectively. Later, Bess gives Herman an ultimatum when violence breaks out at a rally for Lindbergh's most public liberal challenger.
