In her office, Sarah Morgan hands Jess an envelope and confirms she wants to proceed with a more aggressive legal approach to her separation from Bob. Jess warns that the process will become public and messy, but Sarah insists, citing Bob’s behavior and the need to protect Summer after Summer was injured while in Bob’s care. Jess agrees to file immediately and request an emergency hearing.

Alone, Sarah reflects that Bob likely has a plan and that his whispered threat changed everything. She resolves that she cannot trust him with Summer and that the quiet separation she hoped for is no longer possible.

Sarah texts Alejandro about paying him for his work, and their exchange turns playful, hinting at mutual interest. They agree Sarah will bring the payment to Alejandro, noting she already has his address from giving him keys to her apartment.

The moment is cut short when Natalie, the Morgan Foundation receptionist, informs Sarah that two police officers are asking to speak with her. Sarah considers possible reasons, including Bob’s maneuvers and the reopening of the Kelly Summers investigation, then instructs Natalie to send them in and braces herself for the conversation.
