When John is summoned home by a cable with the false news of Lord Bannister's failing health, Charlotte intercepts John's farewell note to Yuri and lies to her about John's motives. John realizes he has been deceived. Ando Masuki is refused Yuri's hand in marriage by Takamura who says that his daughter's blood is English. Ando tries to kill Yuri and Takamura, but John saves them. John brings Yuri to England as his bride, but Lord Bannister refuses to accept Yuri as his daughter-in-law until Sir Robert Eastbourne arrives with the news that Yuri is actually the daughter he gave up at birth.
