The black woman and the sister-in-law arrive at the party, and the black woman asks the sister why she didn't come to the party earlier. The sister says that her brother is too sensitive to her feelings, and that he's a fool. She tells the sister that she's an actress and that she can see that the sister's acting is poor. She says that she doesn't have anything to do with her brother's family and that no one asked her why she did what she did to her brother. She wants to leave, but the sister reminds her that she is powerful in business, but that behind her strength is "confused and helplessness" . She warns the sister not to go into the party pretending to be a subordinate, and to wipe her tears if her makeup gets smudged. She also says that after reading the prisoners script, she kind of knows how the sister feels about the situation. She thanks the sister for taking her for granted, and tells her to give her more time to sort things out.
