Laura goes to see her specialist Alice to get help learning sign language. In a flashback, Laura recalls going to a club with friends where she meets a boy who offers to get her a drink. He leads her down an alley where he tries to assault her. Her friends find them and intervene. Back in the present, Laura explains this traumatic event is why she now wants to learn sign language from Alice.
