Sydney, too anxious to sit in her apartment while waiting for news from Detective Jake, goes alone to an evening yoga class after Gretchen declines. Sydney feels only partly safe because Tom is at the police station, and Sydney hopes the class will distract her until she hears what happened.

At the studio, Arlene mentions seeing Sydney with a handsome dark-haired man the previous week and says he gave off a deeply unsettling “dark aura.” Arlene tells Sydney that Sydney should be careful around him and admits the sight of him made Arlene want to tell Sydney to run. The warning reinforces Sydney’s fear that Tom may be dangerous.

During class, Sydney cannot relax. Instead of calming her, the stretches and meditation leave Sydney trapped in racing thoughts about whether Tom has been arrested, whether police will search his apartment, and whether they will uncover more evidence linking him to the murdered women.

After class, Sydney sees two missed calls from Jake and immediately calls back. Jake tells Sydney that police questioned Tom and confirmed that Tom’s fingerprints match evidence from the victims’ apartments, but they still had to release him. Jake explains that the prints only prove Tom had been in those apartments before, and Tom has an airtight alibi for the night Bonnie was murdered because he was working at the hospital all night, with witnesses and camera footage to support it.

Sydney is shocked because she had convinced herself Tom was the killer. Although Jake says he believes Tom’s explanation that he simply dated both women by chance and insists Tom could not have murdered Bonnie, Sydney remains uneasy. Tom’s hidden connection to Bonnie, the burner phone, and his other suspicious behavior still trouble Sydney, even as Jake says he trusts Tom and promises to keep an eye on Sydney’s building.

Sydney leaves the studio and walks home through the cold night, telling herself she is safe now that Tom is not a serial killer. But when Sydney approaches her building, Sydney sees a man sitting on the front steps. As he stands in the streetlight, Sydney recognizes him: Tom is waiting outside.
