Cynthia Erivo stars in this episode as a mother trying to balance her family with her career. As the episode opens, she's giving birth to her second child, and she almost dies in the delivery room when the doctor ignores her complaints.
Then the episode cuts to the end of her maternity leave, when she's getting ready to go back to work. Her husband (Jake Johnson) is transitioning into a role as a stay-at-home dad, but her toddler daughter doesn't want her to go.
As she struggles with the demands of home and work, she starts to wake up with huge bite marks all over her body. They're gruesome, but the episode doesn't do anything surprising with the premise. The ending ties everything up in a neat bow that doesn't feel earned by the half-hour that comes before it.
