The pair spend the night in the barn finishing the rope. Phil is touched by Peter's gesture and holds him close to his face. Peter pacifies Phil by offering him strips from the hide that he had cut, omitting mention of the hide's origin. Upon discovering this, Phil is infuriated. Upon learning about Phil's policy of burning unwanted hides, Rose defiantly gives them to local Native American itinerant traders, and collapses on her way back to the house.

George and Rose marry and she moves into the Burbank ranch house while Peter attends medical school. Phil also belittles her teenage son Peter, whom he derides as weak and effeminate.
