A man collapses at home claiming illness and begging his mother to open the door. He pleads, "I don't have much time left," and begs to be taken to the hospital. Inside, his father accuses him of faking sickness for money, says Lucas warned him, and brands him a disgrace when the hospital can't confirm it. Family members insist, "No one opens that door—let him keep acting," and refuse aid. He is left outside asking why they are doing this and saying he'd rather stay in the mountains; the episode ends with his fate unclear.
