After a sleepless night, Evie and Ryan prepare for a grim day of funeral planning for James. In the garage, Evie receives a “911” text from Devon warning her to run, but three police cars block the driveway. Deputy Bullock arrives with a material-witness warrant from Atlanta in connection with Amy Holder’s death, and despite Ryan’s attempt to shield her, Evie submits to arrest.

In an interrogation room, Evie remains still and requests attorney Rachel Murray. With cameras and mics cut, Rachel explains that local police matched Evie’s name and location to an Atlanta request; investigators claim to have a photo placing her at Amy Holder’s death scene. Evie admits she knew Amy under the alias Regina Hale but refuses to reveal her true name.

Rachel presents her own findings: a seven-year-old university ID, a six-year-old driver’s license, a four-year-old passport, plus bills and citations—all under “Evelyn Porter,” all with Evie’s images drawn from past jobs. Evie realizes Mr. Smith has spent years constructing a durable identity that now implicates her, exploiting a blind spot in her and Devon’s vetting.

Rachel warns release may take days and require immediate travel to Atlanta. Evie instead writes a contact’s name and the coded phrase “Hilton Head, June 2017,” instructing Rachel to call in a favor. Ryan is briefly allowed to visit; he’s shaken and seeks answers, but Evie offers only careful denials, preserving her cover.

Rachel returns, indicating the call likely worked and that release is imminent. Privately, she presses Evie to tell Ryan the truth; Evie refuses. Left alone, Evie begins planning her next moves, now fully aware that Mr. Smith’s long-laid identity trap has closed around her.
