A day of small emergencies turns explosive: nearby supermarkets are closed, so Wendy must walk a mile while suffering severe cramps. Ms. Larkin (Yvette) is publicly punished—ordered to kneel for two hours and accused of abandoning people five years ago. Meanwhile Jax rehearses a proposal—"Honey, will you marry me?"—but Yvette disappears, prompting doubts that she's not serious or is seeing someone else. A rival insists Yvette caused their split and warns her not to reclaim Jax. The episode ends when Yvette suddenly faints; Mr. Ashford reports her collapse as others rush in, leaving her condition and the proposal unresolved.
