Bill becomes intoxicated after his daughter leaves for college, shows up late for his class, and accidentally shows an intimate video of his deceased wife to the students.

At home, Ji-Yoon’s father tells her Ju Ju’s teacher wants her to go into therapy for a disturbing picture she drew of Ji-Yoon dying.
