Bonnie arrives at Heathrow much earlier than necessary, relieved to be in plenty of time for her flight to São Paulo. Bonnie struggles with a big case on faulty wheels and a heavy leather holdall that her neighbour’s husband helped carry to the check-in queue. As the line inches forward, Bonnie keeps nudging the holdall with her foot and grows increasingly uneasy because the bag does not feel like the paint samples she expected.

While she waits, Bonnie thinks about leaving home that morning, including Maxie and Mimi excitedly waving her off and Bonnie’s mother tearfully asking Bonnie to return safely. Those memories sharpen Bonnie’s anxiety about the locked bag. Bonnie wonders whether the holdall could contain something dangerous, even briefly imagining a bomb or drugs, but she keeps telling herself that Felicity would not put her in that position.

Trying to calm herself, Bonnie drafts an email to Felicity from the queue. In the message, Bonnie explains that she has been given a locked bag for a surprise unboxing video and asks whether that is normal. Bonnie nearly sends it, but decides not to because she fears Felicity will think she is childish, dramatic, or unprofessional, especially on Bonnie’s first big job.

When Bonnie reaches the desk, the check-in clerk chats warmly with her, and Bonnie proudly says that the São Paulo trip is for business rather than a holiday. Asked whether these are the only two bags and whether Bonnie packed them herself, Bonnie realizes that honesty would expose her uncertainty. Wanting to seem like a proper influencer and trusting Felicity despite her doubts, Bonnie says that she packed the bags herself.

The tension then deflates in an awkward but important way when the clerk scans Bonnie’s booking and points out that Bonnie is booked on the 4 p.m. flight even though it is only 9.30 a.m. Bonnie learns that check-in will not open until 1.00, so she has to lift both bags back off the belt and wait at the airport. The scene ends with Bonnie still carrying the suspicious holdall, having ignored her instincts and committed herself more deeply to the trip.
