Evie, under the alias Regina Hale, is sent to Decatur, Georgia, to watch Amy Holder and await instructions. For nearly two weeks she observes Amy’s rigid routine at a country club bar, where Devon, posing as bartender “Morris,” serves her. Evie notes a spotter likely reporting to Mr. Smith, confirming tight oversight and the sensitivity of Amy’s leverage against the Connollys.

One night, Amy loudly confronts Evie in the bar, proving she has clocked Evie’s schedule, car, and license plate. Evie tries to play innocent, but Amy declares she cannot turn over what she took and would be killed if she did. The scene forces Mr. Smith’s hand; he accelerates orders, instructing Evie to seize any device capable of storing data immediately.

Acting on the new directive, Evie extracts a blackout-drunk Amy from her car and searches Amy’s townhouse. She finds no phone, computer, tablets, chargers, or notes—nothing beyond a landline and antenna TV—suggesting Amy has hidden the material elsewhere. The next day, Amy relocates to a downtown Atlanta hotel, and Mr. Smith’s orders escalate to “bring her in immediately.”

Outside the hotel, Amy publicly taunts Evie, claiming she has extensive dirt on Mr. Smith. Realizing the stakes now include potential leverage on her own boss, Evie moves to secure Amy and the data. Disguised as hotel housekeeping and coordinated by Devon over a comms link that freezes cameras, Evie times her approach. After Amy stumbles into her room, Evie knocks, announces “Housekeeping,” and forces her way inside, setting up the next confrontation.
