Lucy waits outside Maya Harper's office in Austin and stops Maya at her car. Maya is immediately wary of Lucy and tries to leave, still resistant to speaking with her despite the renewed public attention on Savvy's murder.

Lucy forces the conversation forward by revealing that Lucy knows about Troy, the man Savvy killed years earlier. Maya is shocked and takes Lucy to a deserted parking lot, where Lucy explains that Savvy told Lucy Troy's full name, Troy Henderson, and that Lucy later hired a private investigator to look into him. The investigator found that Troy's body was never recovered and that nobody appeared to be seriously pursuing his disappearance.

The conversation shifts from Troy himself to what that knowledge means. Maya admits that Lucy's private investigation and Lucy's refusal to use Savvy's killing of Troy as a defense make it harder to believe Lucy murdered Savvy. Lucy confirms that Savvy had told Maya only Lucy knew, and Lucy promises that Lucy will not tell Ben Owens about Troy, no matter what happens with the podcast. Maya agrees that the secret must stay buried.

By the end of the talk, the tension softens into shared grief. Maya says she wishes Savvy had told her that Lucy knew the truth, because that would have proved Lucy understood Savvy better than most people did. Maya also tells Lucy that Savvy became happier after Lucy returned to town. Moved by that confirmation of their bond, Lucy promises Maya that Lucy will do everything possible to catch whoever killed Savvy.
