However, he never gets the chance to, as time freezes still and her husband becomes immobile; Clarkson, however, is immune to this. Looking around the corners of her house. she sees a sight that suprises her: her younger self.

	Hand in hand, the yonger and older Clarkson relive Clarkson's troubled childhood as various painful memories are seen such as the younger Clarkson making a picture for her father to admire, which is then tossed into the srink, and Clarkson's mother making an unappreciated dinner for her father. These events drive Clarkson's mother to the point of taking pills and crying publicly in front of the younger Clarkson.

	The breaking point is finally seen when Clarkson's parents have a physical fight and throw objects at each other. Not soon after, Clarkson's father packs his bags, as he is leaving the family; although the younger Clarkson tries to get him to stay, he pulls away. Filled with the memories of her past, the older Clarkson has seen enough and runs back in time to the present. There, time unfreezes and instead of fighting with her husband, they make up. Clarkson's own daughter can be seen walking around the corner. At last, Clarkson has broken the cycle of having a broken family.
