Evie arrives at the Westin in Atlanta on time to meet Rachel, with Ryan attempting to talk to her before being left in the lobby. Rachel has shifted the police interview from the station to a hotel meeting room for better optics, and she advises Evie to answer only with permission and to reveal nothing extra.

Detectives West and Crofton arrive, record the session, and open by asking why Evie lived as Regina Hale. Evie delivers a cover story about fleeing an abusive ex, Justin Burns, whose police-captain brother could have buried prior incidents, and the detectives note they will verify.

Pressed about Amy Holder, Rachel pushes them to show their evidence. They play hotel exterior footage: Amy entering the American Hotel, clearly intoxicated, with only a blurry background figure resembling Evie. Rachel attacks it as inconclusive and reiterates the official accident finding of a smoking-related fire.

Detectives then present an “eyewitness” video from across the street: a clear view through Amy’s balcony doors shows Evie, in a housekeeping uniform, looking toward the bed and producing matches moments before thick smoke fills the room. Evie recognizes the moment; she and Devon had only recently learned of the video and suspect added audio and Mr. Smith’s involvement. The evidence significantly heightens the risk to Evie.
