The Other Woman (2009)
Summary
Emilia Greenleaf's life is turned upside down when she gets pregnant with a married man's baby. After a quick divorce and a quick wedding, it is revealed through a series of flashbacks that her baby girl died of SIDS. Grieving the loss of her infant daughter Isabel, she is still coming to terms with her status as the second wife of lawyer Jack Woolf . Vilified as a homewrecker, she attracts the unyielding ire of his embittered ex-wife Carolyn , who is revealed to also be pregnant (after she heard about Emilia's pregnancy, she realised that she too wanted another child). Emilia thinks that this is purely out of spite. Now she must come to terms with her stepson, William , who upsets her with constant references to her dead baby. After trying to carry the load on her own, her life finally collapses, and Jack tells her he cannot go on with the relationship. Emilia has a breakdown during a fight where she reveals to Jack that the baby did not die in her crib but in fact in her arms: she believes that she killed her own baby. She then tells him that she can also no longer do this, and leaves Jack alone, crying over their daughter. Carolyn phones Emilia to come to her office, after William told her he is ashamed of her, she tells her that she has personally looked into the autopsy report on Isabel and she can confirm that Emilia did not kill her baby. At first it appears that this information is not sinking in and Carolyn tells her that she is going to repeat, "You did not kill your baby" until Emilia understands this. Emilia starts crying in realisation that she has been punishing herself for so long, and that it was not her fault, Carolyn leaves her alone in the office to process what has just happened.
On the day that Carolyn's baby is born, Emilia takes William to the park and gives him a boat that was given to her when she was his age, she then says, "I love you William" and he replies "I know." He looks at her and away again and says, "Me too."
