Tom remains with Allworthy, consternated by his illness. The doctor assures the family that Allworthy's state has improved and that he will survive. Delighted at this report, Tom gets drunk, and the doctor has to quell a fight between Tom and Thwackum. Blifil, who detests Tom's unruly behavior since it is so different from his own, retorts that Tom should not behave in such a way when his mother has just died. Tom begs Blifil's pardon, but Blifil sneers that Tom cannot understand the pain of a parent's death since he does not even know who his parents were. Thwackum and the doctor have to stop Tom and Blifil from fighting.
