He wants Anna to lie to the Taylors and pretend that she wants to back out of her pregnancy so that they can keep giving her money to stay.

Anna secretly meets with Mike, who has made bail. John goes home to confront Anna and tell her that she's got the wrong idea and that he loves Laura. John then demands that Anna stop sending these videos, but she only continues to toy with him. Anna starts sending John videos at work in which she takes her shirt off to reveal "baby" painted on her stomach. He stares at her nude body, and she notices. He climbs a ladder in the pouring rain to investigate, but only discovers Anna in her room undressing.

One evening, John thinks he hears something on the roof. She has him feel her stomach to SUPPOSEDLY feel what the baby is like at this stage.but that's clearly not the case. She makes a comment that being pregnant with his child is like he is inside of her. However, Anna starts to get too comfortable around John. She joins Laura for yoga classes and reads self-help books to take control of her life. John and Laura do their best to make Anna feel right at home. Mike agrees to it, but the smarmy shit-eating look on his face indicates he has other plans. He presents Mike with a restraining order and other documents that would legally prevent him from being anywhere near Anna, but John says they haven't been filed yet, and they won't be if Mike manages to stay away from Anna. John meets with Mike in his holding cell. As Anna walks away with John, Mike flips out and tries to run after them, but the cops pull him away. Anna fears that she has no place else to go, but John says she can stay with him and Laura. Anna is sitting in the car with blood on her face. John goes by Mike's house to find the police there. The Taylors receive a distressing phone call. John later takes Anna home and finds Mike there looking unhappy to see them together. Anna goes to John's job so he can take her to a doctors appointment since Mike didn't take her. After taking three home tests, Laura calls John to excitedly tell him that Anna is pregnant with their baby. Anna undergoes the procedure to be impregnated. The Taylors invite Anna and her boyfriend Mike Mitchell (Theo Rossi) over for dinner one night. John and Laura get to know Anna, finding her to be pleasant and charming. Laura likes what she sees from Anna, and she chooses her. They think they've found the answer to their prayers in Anna Walsh (Jaz Sinclair), a young woman who volunteers to be a surrogate for the two of them. They both want a child, but have been unsuccessful in conceiving following several miscarriages.
