After Jack goes away on a business trip, Marcia recieves another obscene phone call. She confronts Roy, who tells her that she is a tease and both an improper wife and a lousy mother. Marcia grows fearful that Roy is crazy when he tells her that his mother was just like her. She grabs a gun convinced that he is the prank caller and kills him.
