Sam Archer, newly reborn, accidentally eats food meant for Bryan at a restaurant, sparking an angry scene. Co‑workers and a waiter accuse him; someone finds a fly in a dish connected to Mr. Reed's fiancée and threats escalate until staff order him out. Cornered, Sam flashes back: in his past life he failed Wendy and she died in a car accident. Realizing endurance alone won't save him, he sheds his cowardice, declares he won't play nice and vows to step on others, leaving the restaurant confrontation unresolved and his next actions open.
