• Emily is bedridden, unable to eat more than a bite of the hamburger Roddy brought her, and writhes in extreme pain.
• Roddy presents Emily with a goblet filled with suet pudding that he found in the freezer and warmed up, believing in the nutrient-preserving qualities of oven-heating over microwaving.
• Desperate for the suet pudding, Emily greedily begins to eat it as Roddy watches, reminiscing on their past intimacy.
• Roddy asserts his belief that erectile dysfunction drugs are harmful and shorten life span.
• After Emily partially consumes the pudding, Roddy applies the rest topically to her inflamed nerve in her thigh and buttocks, causing her pain to momentarily subside.
• Roddy cleans the remnants of the fat from under his fingernails, tidies Emily, and tells her to rest in preparation for the night’s event.

• Bonnie, initially disoriented, sees that her skin has been marked with Sharpie lines resembling a map.
