Avant qu'elle puisse le lui dire, Teola apprend qu'il est décédé lors d'un incendie. Désespérée, elle se confie à Tess, qui prend le bébé avec elle pour éviter à Teola d'être rejetée par son père Elias, un pasteur sévère. La ville entière évite Tess, et Frederick lui-même, bien qu'il l'aime, ne peut lui pardonner son "péché". Lorsque le bébé devient gravement malade, Tess l'emmène à l'église pour y être baptisé, mais Elias refuse, la réprimandant publiquement. Teola, pleine de remords, s'avance en avouant être la mère de l'enfant. Elias, honteux, bénit alors Tess pour sa bonté. Plus tard, Teola et le bébé meurent, le père de Tess est libéré de prison, le vrai meurtrier ayant été découvert, et Frederick est pardonné par Tess.
