She uncovers a troubling letter from her father to his biological daughter, a Jewish woman who collaborated with the Gestapo, betraying Jews and committing atrocities. Despite her actions, Sylvia's father continued to support her financially. Sylvia also reveals that this woman harbored hatred toward her, even hiring a hitman to kill her.

The episode then shifts to Sylvia's mother, Maria, touching on her high-society connections, possible espionage during WWII, and ties to figures like the Shah of Iran.
