At her mother's birthday, Cindy is introduced to John Carter, a 50-year-old divorcé with a 12-year-old son, as a prospective husband. Her mother and family immediately try to turn the party into an engagement, insisting Cindy meet John and pressuring her to get a marriage certificate. Cindy objects, accuses them of selling her, and refuses to marry. Tension spikes when they reveal John offered $300,000 for the match. Cindy snaps that the marriage won't work and then reveals, "I'm pregnant." The room freezes; the arranged match and the family's next move are left unresolved.
