With the smallpox under control Prem is still unable to locate its source. Verity disappears but Prem tracks her down, persuading Todd to finally allow her to be treated. A confession from Dan leads to Prem discovering the source of the disease - it was carried in robes brought back from Africa by Todd, who had survived smallpox there and kept quiet to the village about it. Emlyn proposes to Megan, and Pushpa, who had previously feared that Prem was making her daughter miserable, realizes that they are extremely happy and that Kamini supports her husband all the way.
