CEO Mr. Cross confronts employee Renee Vance at work, revealing she fled a medical exam he was conducting at the company hospital. He publicly reprimands her for neglecting her health and orders her to his office. There, as a doctor, he personally administers a dose of medication she avoided, framing it as necessary treatment. He warns her that while the drug controls physical symptoms, the psychological craving is her responsibility to manage. Disturbed by the encounter, Renee tries to refocus on her marriage, but the invasive experience leaves her visibly unsettled.
