Marion and Harry reach a violent emotional breaking point as their drug addiction spirals out of control. Marion confronts Harry for failing to secure their supply after she debased herself to get money, leading Harry to cruelly hand her the number of a predatory dealer.

Harry visits his mother, Sara, to apologize for his absence and gift her a new television, only to realize with horror that she has become addicted to prescription amphetamines. As he tries to warn her about the danger of the pills, Sara reveals her heartbreaking motivation: the hope of appearing on a television game show to feel seen and valued again.
