Lin finds some solace in the company of a male neighbor who helps fend off Lin's husband when he finally manages to track Lin and his daughter down. But something about this neighbor and several other inhabitants of the building doesn't seem right.

When Lin's husband shows up at the apartment late one night with two goons intent on taking his daughter back by force, Lin finds herself standing on her balcony, under encouragement from the ghost, considering whether or not to throw her daughter and herself off to stop her abusive husband from parting her from her daughter.
