Everything Carries Sound - Episode 2

On a tense morning people worry she'll make a scene because she "can't hear or speak." The narrator recalls how, after her parents died she developed aphasia and rescued Sean from a rooftop suicide attempt. To keep him alive she lied that she was born deaf-mute; that white lie let them learn sign, fall in love, and win solemn vows from Sean to protect her. Now Sean must take over his family, and the Porter heir "won't marry a deaf-mute." The revelation of her false past and the family's edict put their future under immediate threat.
