After Mel’s (Sue Ramirez) false distress call to 911, which lured the guards and medics to her locked room, she slips outside through the back door, successfully escaping, with looming panic still in the air.
Looking back every second as she walks outside, Mel (Sue Ramirez) is petrified when someone taps her on the shoulder, fearing it might be Anton (Jameson Blake), but she soon relaxes upon seeing her friend Bianca. A short time later, Mel seizes the chance to get further away by asking Bianca for a ride.
By the end of the day that Mel goes missing, she plans to head to a village—only to find Anton driving out from there. Seeing the place as unsafe for now, she instructs the driver to go somewhere else for the time being.
As time passes, Mel receives a message from Jenny, saying that she misses her and mentioning the birthday cupcakes that Anton saw in an earlier post—prompting him to confront and interrogate Jenny at a party about Mel’s whereabouts.
During Mel’s communication with Jenny, who notices the couple’s concerning behavior, Mel conceals the issue by going along with Jenny’s speculation that they are simply spicing things up in their marriage.
Brushing off her troubles for a while, Mel decides to return to the village.
