  Mary refuses to marry Rick Carter, who has been a vegetable since an accident two years ago. Jay suggests finding a substitute, and they choose Rose, their maid's daughter. Rose is hesitant, wanting to stay with her mom, but is forced into the marriage by her employers, who threaten to harm her mom if she doesn't comply. Rose agrees, hoping to take care of her mom, and is taken to the Carter's house to marry Rick. As she arrives, she is unsure of what to expect, but is pushed into proceeding with the wedding.

  Rose Abney, the bride, stands beside her husband Rick's bed, looking at him with a mix of emotions. She says, "Are you my husband?" and then comments, "No wonder Mary gave up her chance to marry a rich guy and made me do it instead." Rose's thoughts reveal her true intentions: she's only married Rick for his wealth. Meanwhile, Ann White, Rick's mother, expresses her concern for her son's condition, saying he's been in a coma since the car accident two years ago. She tries to reassure herself that good people are blessed and that Rick will wake up one day. Ann shows kindness to Rose, giving her 5 million dollars and a family heirloom, telling her to spend as she likes and not to suffer. As Ann leaves the newlyweds alone, Rose seems touched by her mother-in-law's generosity, thinking, "She's so kind." The scene ends with Rose trying to reassure herself, saying, "Don't worry, I'll take care of you," but her words seem hollow, given her earlier thoughts about benefiting from Rick's wealth after he passes away.
