Teresa Turner arrives unexpectedly at Mr. Shane's office to return an IOU after he covered her grandmother's medical bills. Shane refuses repayment and, through staff, reveals the doctor insisted on finding a 'master' for an ongoing treatment and that someone had been located. When Shane indicates he wants more than money, Teresa volunteers to sign and fulfill the master-servant agreement to aid his treatment. They agree to formalize it immediately, but an assistant warns doing this in broad daylight is inappropriate, and they leave together with the risk of public exposure unresolved.
