At a reception Henry, a mischievous boy, grabs a guest's cake. The guest confronts his mother Wynne, threatens to tell Lance—who already dislikes Wynne and her son—and demands punishment. Wynne apologizes as other guests whisper the boy is a jinx after past injuries to those who scolded him. Old grudges surface when Melissa is accused of drugging Lance years ago and someone vows revenge. Suddenly Wynne collapses and is declared dead; a bystander pressures Henry to take "medicine" to save her. The scene ends with a public announcement, "Dear passenger, please put that down!", leaving Henry's choice unresolved.
