Sophie Bowman lies weak in a hospital as staff explain Mrs. Bowman lost control over a surgery dispute and keeps taking it out on her. Earlier, a man handed Sophie his card before rushing to a last-minute business trip, but she never called. Hospital workers spot Sophie with another man and assume he is her boyfriend; an onlooker decides not to interfere, refusing to be a third wheel. Later someone produces five million and orders, "Give it to her. Consider it compensation for that night." The transfer and Sophie’s response remain unresolved, forcing an immediate delivery decision.
