As they work together, deep tensions resurface. Sam questions Mary about her recent struggles and the rumors that her accident was actually a suicide attempt, while also refusing to listen to Mary's new music. Instead, Sam watches Mary rehearse her choreography in absolute silence.
Eventually, Sam proposes a striking design featuring a long train constructed from Mary's previous iconic outfits, which can be dramatically torn away during the performance.
