Justin Stockwell, a 30-year-old heir paralyzed in a car crash, refuses help and snaps, "I don't need a caregiver." Dawn Whiting, a single mother who just signed on as his paid caregiver, arrives, introduces herself, and asks for higher pay after noting his crankiness. He dismisses her and orders her out. Staff remind him he's been searching for the woman from a one-night stand linked to his accident four years ago. As Dawn prepares to leave, someone asks, "That girl from four years ago was you?"—the revelation freezes the scene and leaves their past unresolved.
