You were at a party that was a setup to find Malcolm a wife. People saw Malcolm as the handsome rich man and wanted the money in trade for helping fix Jessica's social status. After a couple hours he needed the bathroom but couldn't get away. He was used to these events, but the hallucinations and anxiety were not helping. He was fighting them off as best he could as women still swarmed him. He was out of practice and nearly out of time as he need for the bathroom got worse.
