Episode 4 of "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans," entitled "It's Impossible," opens with a scene of Babe indulging in a glamorous preparation, only to strip it all off moments later at the doctor's office. The chemo treatments have proven futile, and it's becoming increasingly apparent that her time is running out.
Truman, on the other hand, is mulling over the idea of hosting a comeback ball to reunite the Swans. Slim is vehemently opposed to the idea, shocked that C.Z. and Babe would even entertain such a thought. Babe, however, reveals that she is approaching the end of her journey and believes it's time for forgiveness.
Meanwhile, Truman finds himself back in the orbit of John, a man who remains abusive and rude. John proudly declares that he is now seeing another woman, and when Truman reacts with hurt, John lashes out and hits him.
Elsewhere, Slim is engaging in a secret liaison with Bill, and both are deeply concerned about Babe's willingness to let Truman back into her life. Slim confronts Truman and announces that she is suing him for defamation, demanding that he keep his distance from Babe. Truman responds with a sarcastic jab, suggesting that his excerpt in the newspaper merely gave Slim the attention she so desperately craves.
The next blow to Truman's past comes via Jack, who brings devastating news. The results of Truman's CAT scan reveal that alcohol has taken a serious toll on his motor functions. Jack, angry at John, pleads with Truman to cut him off, quit drinking, and seek rehabilitation. Reluctantly, Truman agrees.
However, Slim's scheming knows no bounds. She whispers to her journalist friends, urging them to write negative stories about Truman's proposed second ball. Babe, on the other hand, is curious about the guest list and thrilled to learn that she will be included.
C.Z. and Joanne visit Truman at rehab, finding him in a state of contentment. He proudly declares his happiness, revealing that he's even struck up a romantic connection with another patient, calling it a source of inspiration. They also observe that he's immersed in all the negative publicity surrounding him, seemingly unaffected.
C.Z. and Babe confront Slim for attacking Truman during his vulnerable moment of seeking sobriety. Babe firmly declares her intention to attend the event regardless, much to Slim's annoyance.
Upon returning home, Truman wonders about Jack's unwavering loyalty. Jack declares Truman as the most significant person in his world, leaving Truman deeply touched. They reconcile, and Truman resumes writing his book, "Answered Prayers."
Meanwhile, Slim is surprised to find even Lee defending Truman. Slim claims to be upset on Babe's behalf, but Lee calls her out for her own relationship with Bill. Slim partially concedes, promising to end things with Bill. Unbeknownst to her, she predicts Truman's next move when she wonders aloud about what will happen if Truman continues to write about them.
At home, Bill and Babe dance, and Babe speaks candidly about forgiveness as her end nears. She not only forgives Truman but also Bill and Slim. She suggests that Bill should be with Slim after she's gone, leaving them both puzzled about how she knew about their relationship. Feeling guilty, they decide to end their affair.
Jack returns home to find Truman entangled with John and ultimately leaves him. Some time later, John's daughter, Kerry, unexpectedly appears at Truman's doorstep, revealing that she and John have also parted ways. Truman and Kerry bond over their shared experiences of John's abusiveness and neglect, with her mother's alcoholism and his refusal to provide financial support. Kerry dreams of becoming a writer and needs a job, and Truman takes her under his wing, arranging modeling gigs and teaching her the craft of writing.
Both Babe and Truman embark on therapy sessions. Babe speaks about the resilience of the show, even in the face of her impending death, while Truman is focused on finishing his book as a means of redemption. Amidst their separate journeys, they happen to miss each other.
One fateful day, their paths cross again, and they engage in a tense truce. Their emotions surface as Babe confesses her eagerness for Truman's party, which he reveals has been canceled. She urges him to take care of Kerry, and he tells her to buy a dress even if there's no party. They embrace, briefly sharing a moment of tenderness, before parting ways. As Babe confides to her therapist at the end of "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans" Episode 4, Truman was the love of her life.
