On Fletcher's birthday, his friends criticize Vivian, his girlfriend and a newly certified forensic pathologist, for her job dealing with corpses, suggesting she smells unpleasant and doubts their future together. Vivian proudly shares her certification and commitment to justice for the deceased, but Fletcher reveals his growing discomfort with her forensic work and hints he might consider ending their relationship if she continues in the field. Amid playful moments, the conversation turns tense when Vivian discovers Fletcher's rejection rooted in his aversion to her "corpse smell," exposing cracks in their three-year relationship.
