While caught in heavy snow, a distressed mother desperately seeks help for her daughter Lynn Yeo, who is clutching her chest in pain. Thaddeus Hawthorne, assistant to Tristan Starling, notices them trying to stop their car and debates whether to offer a ride. Despite the urgency and the child’s visible distress, Thaddeus advises caution, suspecting possible hidden motives behind the request. As the mother’s pleas grow more desperate, the group faces a tense decision—whether to risk help or reject the strangers—which leaves the episode ending on uncertainty over Lynn’s fate and the characters’ choice.
