Late at night a visitor checks on a little girl and asks her mother's name; she answers, "Jenny Stones." The visitor discovers a wheelchair and is told the mother has been in a coma since an accident seven years ago. The girl's father vows to scrape together medical bills and starts packing while the guest says, "I'm here to help you." An alarm signals it's time to apply the comatose woman's medicine, and the father prepares the dose. The visitor's stunned remark that the girl resembles Rose unsettles the household and leaves them deciding whether to accept outside help.
