Janet suddenly transmigrates during her shop's ribbon-cutting into a novel and is dragged into a scheme to marry the story's villain. She refuses, shouting that Trevor is her brother-in-law, volatile after an accident, and warns she could die if forced to marry him. Panicked, Janet threatens to jump to return home; attendants restrain and humiliate her as they insist the Stouts' wedding car waits. At the house she is announced as the Bentons' bride-to-be and Mr. Stout is told to throw her out. The scene freezes as someone cries, "No one touches my daughter-in-law."
