Contestants assemble at a stage lift for a routine; a little girl, Daisy, refuses to step in because it's dark and she’s scared. Her mother begs staff to brighten the lift, but other competitors mock them and tell them to withdraw. Daisy insists she'll go alone and enters, then the lift stalls and she panics—claustrophobic, gasping for air. Staff report a faulty mechanism and say they'll repair it, prompting the mother to accuse another participant, Yolanda, of sabotage. With repairs delayed and accusations flying, Master Nathan appears, leaving Daisy trapped and fate unresolved.
