Abstract: In this paper we investigate the divisor $mathcal{C}_{14}$ inside the moduli space of smooth cubic hypersurfaces in $mathbb{P}^5$, whose generic element is a smooth cubic containing a smooth quartic scroll. Using the fact that all degenerations of quartic scrolls in $mathbb{P}^5$ contained in a smooth cubic hypersurface are surfaces with one apparent double point, we conclude that every cubic hypersurface belonging to $mathcal{C}_{14}$ is rational. As an application of our results and of the construction of some explicit examples contained in the Appendix, we also prove that the Pfaffian locus is not open in $mathcal{C}_{14}$.
