After a gathering is dismissed, Bria collapses in public as her father rushes to her. She rejects comfort and insists Stan loved her and would never leave her and Cathy. Bria screams that the divorce papers and the death certificate are fake—"Everything is a lie"—and claims Stanley must still be alive and waiting. Others react in disbelief and someone insists, "Stanley is gone." Bria refuses to accept it, remembering his promise to outlive her. The episode ends with Bria clinging to that conviction while everyone else doubts the truth.
