Six months later, Sheila surprises Ryan by showing up at his apartment and pretending nothing had happened. Over a long weekend, Sheila dazzles Ryan with grandiose stories of her new life, hinting that they can be lovers again.

But something isn't right. Sheila's stories change and she starts acting bizarrely. She has several cell phone calls that she hides from Ryan.
