- Ma, whose name is Sara Goldfarb, buys her TV back from the pawnshop owner, Mr. Rabinowitz.
- He tells Sara to contact the police, but she refuses to do that, saying, "Harry's my only child. He's all I have."
- At home, she turns on the TV, settles in with a box of chocolates, and watches her infomercial on Juice: "Join Us in Creating Excellence."
- She gets a phone call from a man who tells her she's going to be on television.
- He's from Malin & Block, which discovers contestants for game shows, and he'll be sending her all the info in the mail: tips for Plinko, a field guide to all the Whammies, etc.
- Already preparing for her TV debut, Sara tries to squeeze into her favorite red dress, which she wore to Harry's graduation.
- It's now too small. Suck it in, Sara.
