When Rachel realizes that Salome is extremely hardworking and diligent in her duties, she decides that the family should award her a house on the farm. Rachel talks to her husband, Manie, about her feelings, and he promises that he will gift Salome with a house within the firm. However, Manie never keeps his promise.
