The chapter is framed as an interview with Chinyere, the eldest sister of Zelu, who is a cardiovascular surgeon and chief of surgery at Advent Hospital in Chicago. Chinyere stresses that family matters more than fame, insists Zelu has always been the most unstable of her siblings (apart from her disability), and resents the public obsession with her sister. She prepares to share an illustrative story from before Zelu's rise to fame.

Chinyere recounts a night years earlier when she was a new, sleep-deprived mother to her three-month-old son, Emeka. Around 10 p.m. during a heavy storm, Zelu called her, slurring and incoherent, asking for a ride because she didn't trust Uber. Despite her exhaustion, Chinyere bundled up the baby, strapped him into her two-door BMW, and drove from Hyde Park to a North Side all-night diner where Zelu was waiting.

Chinyere found Zelu in the diner, dressed sharply in an Ankara pantsuit and red heels, extremely high. A relieved waitress begged Chinyere to take her home. Zelu attempted to light a blunt, which Chinyere snatched away before wheeling her sister out and loading her and the wheelchair into the car while Emeka slept.

As Chinyere was getting Zelu settled, a well-dressed but disheveled man emerged from a nearby Mercedes SUV, demanding to talk to Zelu. He revealed he was a former student of Zelu's, a lawyer trying to be a writer, who had been given a fake number after a one-night stand and had followed her there. As he grew aggressive and crowded Chinyere, she recognized warning signs from a past abusive relationship. She pepper-sprayed him in the face, got in the car, and drove away as the waitress likely called the police.

On the drive home, Zelu, sobered, casually explained she had slept with him and grown tired of him, dismissing his entitled behavior—worsened, she said, because men assumed a disabled woman should be grateful. Chinyere reflects that Zelu always moves on instantly from her chaos, leaving others to deal with the fallout, and wonders if that very quality is what people now love about her famous sister.
