Miranda, an immigrant trying to rebuild her life, was working at a restaurant when her ex, Colin, and his new girlfriend Leslie—who had once betrayed her—walked in and publicly mocked her. Even after they threw food at her, Miranda held back tears and continued working.
In the kitchen, she broke down and confided in Chef Robert, revealing how Colin and Leslie had ruined her reputation in college, costing her a scholarship and haunting her ever since.
Tired of being silent, Miranda asked Robert to make their meal painfully spicy. He did. When Colin wiped his mouth with a chili-coated napkin, he began to choke, and Leslie stormed out, mortified.
Colin tried to blame Miranda, but the owner stood by her. The other diners laughed—and for once, the shame wasn’t hers. Miranda walked away lighter, finally feeling like justice had been done.
