Plot[]
Cold Open[]
A door opens to reveal Mrs Frances Wilde powdering her face. She looks in the mirror at the person who entered.
"You. We need to talk."
Mrs Wilde turns toward the door.
"I know what you've been doing. I know everything. The game is up."
Mrs Wilde suddenly looks frightened, and falls backward as though pushed. She tries to crawl away, whimpering all the while. She begins to choke on her pearl necklace, which breaks. Her head falls to the floor in a pool of blood.

Jack: I'll never again dismiss the fashion world as frivolous. It all looks harmless enough, but you never know what lurks beneath.
