Synopsis: After preparing for her first night of motherhood in the postnatal ward bathroom, Thea rushes to soothe her crying baby. As she nurses, a wave of relief rushes over her. Everything will be okay, she’s a natural. But when Mother interrupts Thea’s moment of maternal bliss and claims that the baby latched onto her breast is her own, Thea is forced to admit her mistake. As Thea returns to her own baby in the next bay and questions her ability to bond, she hears Mother through the dividing curtain as she comforts the baby she believed to be hers.
