Debbie is nervous ahead of her Women in Business speech, and Carl reassures her that it's fine to read from her notes.

As the event gets underway, he tells her that he needs her login details to pay the staff. She instructs him to look for her notebook, as she takes to the stage for her big talk. In a fluster, she forgets the password to her iPad and can't consult her notes.

Instead, she decides to give a heartfelt speech about being diagnosed with dementia, what it means for her future and how she isn't giving up without a fight.
