Ms. Lull brings James to meet Clarice and proposes an immediate marriage: Clarice is beautiful but has been in a vegetative state for years. The doctor warns she has only a month left and could wake up at any time, so Ms. Lull wants a trusted person to care for her and bring good luck. Pressured, James reluctantly agrees and declares Clarice his wife, accepting responsibility. Ms. Lull then insists someone must be present if Clarice awakens, and the episode ends with James told to sleep beside Clarice starting tonight, her possible awakening unresolved.
