Joel and Maya see each other in court. Maya has requested an extension of the restraining order against her father. Joel could have sent his lawyer, but he came in person because there is no other way for him to tell Maya that her mother has been hospitalized, with a severe attack of her autoimmune disease. But Maya does not believe him. She thinks it's all a manipulation designed to separate her from Shabtai.
But Shabtai surprises her by insisting that this time her father is telling the truth. Her mother is really sick, maybe even dying. If he could reach Tikva, Shabtai says, he may be able to help her. Maya brings him to the hospital but Joel will not give Shabtai access to his sick wife. Maya is caught in the crossfire between Joel and Shabtai. Finally her father seems to give up on her completely. Go to your master, he resentfully tells her.
