Meanwhile, Beth Blake, a struggling cook at her aunt's struggling restaurant, encounters Ralph Keller, a charming stranger who performs a parlor trick with flapjacks; Ralph secures employment at the restaurant and the two bond, but Beth's older sister Angela arrives unexpectedly and terrifies Beth with her extreme behavior and worldliness. In a separate narrative, a nurse named Dulcie falls in love with her patient Chris Prentiss during his recovery, and after his discharge they begin dating; Chris takes Dulcie to the movies and introduces her to his father Mr. Prentiss, though tensions arise regarding the relationship's future and Chris's family circumstances.
