Morning after their wedding, a newlywed woman wakes in her husband’s arms, vows they won’t sleep together again, and he arranges for her to attend an afternoon antique auction. At the auction staff report a pendant was taken from a grave and warn it brings bad luck. The woman admires items while secretly worrying: she lost her job and sent her mother to clean the venue so Portia wouldn’t find out—she plans to use auction proceeds to pay Rowan’s hospital bills. Portia spots them, sneers, and asks, “What the hell are you doing here?” leaving her secret exposed.
