Episode: 5
Ella spends calm days at home with Nate, reflecting on how each stand-in friend kept their distance. Later, Nate takes her to the hospital to treat a cold. They encounter Alex escorting a pregnant Sabrina down the corridor. Alex quickly claims his name is Nate and calls Sabrina his partner. Sabrina then gloats about their affair. She details the past crash where Alex chose her over his pregnant ex.
At home, Ella spends quiet hours alongside Nate. She remembers how Alex's friends always respected physical boundaries and never touched her while posing as her partner. Nate sits calmly beside her during their everyday routine.
Nate walks Ella into the hospital to seek medical care for her cold. While walking down the busy hallway, they run right into Alex. Alex is escorting a visibly pregnant Sabrina to her appointment.
Alex reacts swiftly to maintain his ongoing deception. He introduces himself to Ella as Nate, calling himself Alex's good friend. He presents Sabrina as his own girlfriend and claims they are visiting for a routine prenatal checkup.
Sabrina talks openly about being the other woman. She brings up the car accident from three years ago. Alex decided to pull Sabrina to safety first, leaving Ella injured and causing the death of her five-month-old unborn baby.
“Hi, I'm Nate, Alex's good friend. This is my girlfriend Sabrina, we're here for a prenatal checkup today.”
“Ella, you lost your memory, so you probably don't know. I'm actually the other woman.”
“He chose to save me. His ex got hurt, and she lost her five-month-old baby. But he said he didn't regret it. To him, I'm more important than anything.”
Ella stands frozen in the hospital hallway as Sabrina laughs about the fatal car crash. Alex stays silent beside his pregnant mistress, refusing to acknowledge the truth. With Ella secretly remembering the tragic loss of her unborn child, how long can she keep pretending before her pain turns into direct revenge?
