A woman and her child negotiate renting a room in a mysterious yard from a man who sets strict rules: no touching old items, no entering his room, and no open flames outside the kitchen. Initially demanding $1,000 rent, the man relents to $500 after their pleas. The woman agrees and is assigned a room on the right. As they prepare to settle in, she cautiously asks the man about her father's name, hinting at a deeper personal connection. The episode ends with the question unanswered, leaving the relationship between the renter and landlord unresolved.
