At the party, Peter leaves Charlie unattended; she eats cake containing walnuts, which triggers her severe nut allergy, sending her into anaphylactic shock. As Peter drives Charlie to the hospital, she leans out of the window for air; when Peter swerves to avoid a dead deer lying in the road, she is accidentally decapitated by a telephone pole.
