When Dr. Myron Dean, Noah Steele's doctor, arrives at Ms. Joyce to recruit her daughter to accompany Mr. Noah to school, Joyce accuses him of kidnapping. The child panics, crying for her mother, while bystanders confront the doctor. Dr. Dean says Mr. Mason, Noah's father, needs a companion because Noah won't take his medicine and offers $500,000 per month. Joyce initially refuses—"I'm not so broke that I would sell my daughter"—but after hearing the sum she reverses and declares, "I'll do it." The episode closes on her acceptance and the girl's imminent transfer unresolved.
