At Mr. Lowe Sr.'s lavish birthday banquet, guests flaunt gowns hoping Mr. Lowe will be chosen a granddaughter-in-law. Luna admires a custom haute couture dress while another guest, sent by Dr. Holt, vows to win Mr. Lowe's favor. A confrontation breaks out when a plainly dressed woman bumps the gown's owner; the owner demands payment and others jeer that her outfit is inappropriate for the formal event. The newcomer insists she only needs a quick word with Mr. Lowe. The scene shifts when someone spots the Lowe family's black gold card, stopping the argument and leaving access—and the newcomer's fate—unresolved.
