Sean is summoned by a woman to attend a welcome party at an estate for Keith. She reminds Sean that as her husband, he must be present and rehearses what he should say to make a good impression. The woman hints that if Sean handles the evening well, they can move past a previous violent incident with Keith. At the party, Sean tries to appease Keith by offering shrimp, but Keith remains cold and eventually orders Sean to kneel, escalating the tension and leaving Sean in a submissive and uncertain position.
