Making its way out via Zap2it, the footage features Blake Lively as young Pippa Lee, who is calmly speaking to her mother Maria Bello's Suky Sarkissian, when she becomes emotional.
When she is a teenager, Pippa runs away from her rural home and seeks refuge with her father's sister Trish in New York City since she is nearly driven mad by her complacent pastor father Des Sarkissian and bipolar mother Suky.
