Marie, remembering a past life where everyone used her, feels an uneasy familiarity with Jason during a cramped family meal. Her future family insists she treat Jason like a brother, apologizes after a minor scuffle, and expects her to cover Sean and Brittany’s work while they go to town. When her mother scolds her sharp tongue and warns marriage will break her, Marie refuses to be leeched again. She pulls back from the expected sacrifice and, in a decisive turn, declares the wedding is off, leaving the household stunned and immediate fallout unresolved.
