Cecilia Sterling chairs Sterling Medical Group yet dedicates one day annually to working anonymously as a gynecologist. Her son Adrian demands she approve his hasty engagement to Sophia after only a month together, threatening to sever ties if she refuses. Reluctantly, Cecilia agrees to meet the couple at her clinic, unaware Sophia and her mother Vanessa are already patients there.
Sophia's test results confirm secondary syphilis, provoking a violent outburst.

When Cecilia identifies herself as Adrian's mother, Sophia denounces her as a liar. Intern Claire intervenes, sustains injuries, and is bound alongside Cecilia inside a supply closet just as Adrian arrives, leaving his mother unconscious and near death.
