A woman is cornered after an accuser confronts her, accusing her of hiring a man and admitting she helped ruin an engagement. The accuser threatens her and a crowd urges the attackers. As men close in, a bystander orders them to leave and rushes forward to hold and calm the shaken woman. Insults and offers of help escalate. Someone addresses Zack: "Even without your help, I can go on with the plan." The rescue halts the assault, but that declaration leaves the larger scheme unresolved.
