On the commercial set, Janet, a minor actress, arrives with her young daughter and is challenged by Ms. Smith, the ad's star and Scott Jewelry ambassador, who pressures the director to remove her. The director forces Janet to choose: be a stand-in for a difficult water scene or leave; despite her daughter's warning that "mommy can't swim," Janet agrees. Repeated takes end with the director calling her performance "soulless" and ordering someone to guide her. Just as she struggles through another take, a voice cuts in: "Wait. What're you doing?" leaving Janet's fate on set uncertain.
