Quinn Alexander desperately tries to wash blood out of her hands in the kitchen. The doorbell rings, causing her to panic. She waits for the person to go away, but then they begin to knock.

Quinn finds police officer Scott Dwyer standing at her door. He tells her that a neighbor called because they heard screaming in her home. Quinn insists that she was just watching the movie Scream and had the volume up too loud.

As Scott looks behind her into her home, Quinn notices a drop of blood on her skirt. She desperately hopes that Dwyer won’t see it, as she casually flirts with him to try to distract him. She invites Scott to come over for dinner with Quinn and her husband, Derek, then insists that everything is fine. Satisfied, Scott finally leaves.

Quinn thinks of how she and Scott used to date in high school. She wonders how different her life would be now if she had married Scott, whom she considers “honorable.” Instead, she turns back into her apartment, where her husband lies dead on the kitchen floor.
