At a New Year's family gathering, Eric arrives late and recounts a case where a man killed his child for insurance, immediately souring the mood. The parents scold him for unlucky talk while noticing an odd, slightly foul smell on Eric and around the house. Ginny praises Bryce; the parents stress he’s been caring for baby Levi, even changing and bathing him. When someone moves to check sleeping Levi in the nursery, the family stops them to avoid waking him. They leave the baby asleep, but Eric’s story and the lingering smell keep everyone uneasy.
