Anne calls from the Oriental Hotel to say she’s showing the venue and that the other person’s mother approved and is on her way. They spar over a ride; one refuses, citing recent moxibustion and a warning that a chill would ruin the treatment. At the hotel door someone panics: "If he sees me..." and urgently adds, "Block me. Don’t say anything." A nearby person adds, "She looks familiar." The episode ends with that recognition hanging between them as the mother approaches, raising the threat of being seen.
