In Episode 6, Joseph and a heavily pregnant Mary arrive at the fully occupied inn, with Joseph humbly pleading for shelter, emphasizing that they require nothing luxurious—only a safe, dry place for Mary to lie down. Simon immediately protests that the inn is dangerously overcrowded, hosting thirty-seven guests in space built for twelve. The urgency escalates as Leah steps forward, recognizing Mary's face is drawn from active labor. When Mary confirms her pains have grown strong, Leah declares, “She's in labor. This child is coming tonight,” cutting through Simon’s logistical despair and Joseph's offer of money, insisting they are morally obligated to help regardless of the inn's capacity.

Simon, overwhelmed by the responsibility and impossibility of conjuring space, is frozen in desperation. Leah’s eyes sweep the packed inn before she lands on the only available, secure location: the stable cave behind the building. She argues fiercely that the cave is warm, dry, private, and sheltered—making it superior to the chaotic common room for a birth. Simon struggles with the shame of housing a woman in labor with livestock, but Leah challenges his pride, and Joseph accepts the offer instantly, calling it a gift. Mary's quiet faith settles the debate, as she simply states, “The Lord will provide what we need.”

With the decision made, Leah takes immediate command, dispatching Simon to prepare the cave with fresh hay and blankets, and sending Ezra to fetch the neighbor Miriam (who has birthing experience) and to gather clean water and cloths. Simon follows orders, and Leah returns to Mary, helping her gently dismount the donkey. Leah assures the deeply grateful Joseph, “Thank me after the baby comes,” taking Mary's arm to slowly lead her toward the shelter. The scene closes as Mary and Joseph finally find refuge in the humble cave, a space that, despite having “No room at the inn,” becomes sanctified as the birthplace of the child.
