Despite his fiancée’s advice to ignore them, the messages continue until Angela contacts him, saying their mother is seriously ill and needs a liver transplant. This pushes him to meet the family in person to stop the harassment. When they finally meet, he’s confronted by his birth mother, who is frail and pleading for help. However, none of her other children are willing to undergo tests to see if they’re a match, leaving the man as the last hope,

The man is appalled by their selfishness and refuses to help. He tells them that they abandoned him and have shown no care for their mother’s well-being. He walks away from the meeting, determined to sever all ties with them. He later tells Vivianne that, despite the pity he feels for his birth mother, his real family is the one that raised him. He deletes his 23andMe profile, changes his contact information, and makes it clear to his birth family that he wants no further involvement.
