As Lisa's attempts to seduce Derek become more brazen, his efforts to protect his career and marriage intensify. He confronts Lisa, hoping to put an end to her advances, but she is undeterred, her obsession deepening to the point of breaking into the couple's home. The confrontation between Derek's efforts to safeguard his family and Lisa's relentless pursuit sets the stage for a dangerous escalation, threatening not only the peace of Derek's household but also the lives within it.
