A young girl, Lily, is trapped and calling for help near the water, while her mother watches in horror. A man, Duke, is urged to leave as Sara, the older woman, fiercely opposes shooting the alligator threatening the girl, calling it a family curse. The girl's mother pleads desperately, arguing that her daughter's life is worth any financial cost, and overrules Sara's warnings. In a moment of crisis, a man decides to act, and the episode culminates in the mother's terrified exclamation as a figure emerges from the swamp, unharmed.
