Scene opens on Rick, a good looking All-American college guy, as he finishes shaving in the mirror. A birthday present sits on the counter beside him, with a card to his younger step-sister. Over a series of detail shots, you hear Rick singing to himself and muttering about her — today is her 19th birthday, she’s become such a beautiful young woman, she’s going to love his present, he has always had feelings for her … ever since their parents got married years ago, and how good it’s going to be to finally fuck her.

Scene cuts to Rick walking into the family’s house, present in hand. Hearing him enter, Jessica runs over and jumps on her brother, bear hugging him and saying how much she missed him. He looks at her lustfully, as he hands over her present and starts to half stammer through his speech. But Jessica is distracted and nervous, shushing him and pulling him upstairs to her bedroom. She must tell him her secret now, she can’t wait any longer.
The step-siblings sit on the bed. As Jessica starts to talk, Rick awkwardly gets her to open the present. It’s a lacey camisole.

She is a lesbian. Rick can’t hide his disappointment and Jessica takes this as a negative reaction. She asks him for his support and advice on what to do about their homophobic parents. She doesn’t want to hide who she is but she is very afraid they will kick her out if they learn the truth.
