Selene is nursing a bedridden person in a filthy house when colleague Mia arrives with office gossip: Karen bragged she convinced Sam to "sell you off" and that everyone knows Selene married a broke man in a vegetative state. Mia accuses Karen of posing as a friend while sleeping with Sam and replacing Selene. They trade bitterness; Mia reveals Sam even divorced her. Karen now acts like the CEO's wife. Mia urges Selene to take the complaint to the chairman to force action, leaving Selene to decide whether to confront Karen and the company.
