Alone in his hotel room, Bob Miller anxiously awaits a text from Alejandro, the man he hired to kill Sarah Morgan. When the message arrives—“It’s done.”—Alejandro follows with photos of Sarah’s body on the bed, bloodied and lifeless. Bob feels a conflicted mix of relief and grief, rationalizing that killing Sarah was necessary to stop her from destroying him.

Another photo shows Sarah naked and posed across the bed, which enrages Bob. He immediately calls Alejandro and accuses him of having sex with Sarah before killing her. Alejandro coldly deflects, reminding Bob that he wanted the job done and that she is no longer “anything.”

Bob asks about their daughter, Summer, and learns she is staying with Anne from the foundation. Bob instructs Alejandro to clean the scene, remove the tracker from Sarah’s car, disappear out of town, and wait for payment the next morning. Alejandro presses for immediate payment and threatens to “expand” his list, but ultimately relents.

Bob probes for information on Stacy Howard, but Alejandro says Sarah revealed nothing before dying. Bob worries that any plan Sarah started, even unfinished, could still harm him. After ending the call, Bob deletes messages, destroys the burner phone, and steels himself to create a public alibi during the medical examiner’s time-of-death window.

Bob dresses, goes to the hotel bar, and makes polite conversation to be memorable to staff and cameras. Sitting with a bourbon cocktail, he wrestles with conflicting emotions about Sarah, then opens the tracking app he used on her car, intending to delete it. The app refreshes and reveals a new route Sarah traveled earlier that afternoon from the lake house south past Greenwich into a remote area—an anomaly compared to her usual routine.

Startled, Bob nearly rushes out to investigate but stops himself, remembering he must remain visible to solidify his alibi. He orders another drink and plans to wait out the time-of-death window before acting.
