At Ms. Van's house, Laura suddenly erupts into violent delirium, screaming "I'm going to kill you!" and alarming family and neighbors who rush in. People warn each other—"Don't scare Mom"—as Laura keeps lashing out. Someone declares the cause: Blood Poison; doctors can't save her. The same person is pressed to act and, when asked, says they know how to treat her. They order, "Lay her down. Flat on the bed." The episode ends with the frantic first step of a desperate rescue underway and Laura's fate still unresolved.
