In heavy rain, Shelly sits in Mr. Coffey's car after visiting her ex‑fiancé's dead sister, Lea, and demands to be let out. Mr. Coffey confronts her, accusing her of walking away when Lea died and of leaving him severely injured. He says William told him he hates her and wants her gone. Shelly insists it’s none of his business and fears her husband will misunderstand. Mr. Coffey escalates, taunting her about a five‑year affair—sleeping together, being her first man and the marks he left—leaving Shelly cornered and exposed to William’s declared hatred.
