Tonight opens with a woman presenting a legal license to a man, insisting that when the night ends he'll be her lawful man. He refuses; she presses the claim and a hired professional is present—he rejects double pay and refuses to betray his boss. Taunting and a brief physical struggle follow as she boasts of her strength. The scene turns when the Laurens' curse is revealed: his grandmother, mother and father all died, and any woman who bears a Lauren child dies in childbirth. The episode ends with the stunned question: "You still want to marry me?"
