During labor a newborn is mocked by relatives for being a girl and then vanishes, triggering a frantic search. The mother finds the baby shivering on a riverside rock. The newborn claims to have been reborn and speaks by telepathy, revealing that in a past life Grandma abandoned her and convinced the mother's parents and brother she had depression, costing the mother money and the house. The revelation turns the crisis into a warning: Ann urges the mother to resist the family's betrayal. They head home with that warning unresolved and a decision looming.
