After leaving the Social buoyed by her time with Rodney, Molly returns home and unexpectedly finds Giselle waiting outside. Molly brings Giselle up five flights—past a curt demand for rent from Mr. Rosso—and into her modest apartment, where Giselle breaks down. Over tea, Giselle corrects Molly’s social phrasing, reveals she’s from Detroit (not Martha’s Vineyard), and the women trade brief histories of loss.

Giselle recounts a grueling police interrogation and a venomous call from Victoria, who hurls insults and implies Giselle is a killer, while the first Mrs. Black stays calm. Molly acknowledges Charles’s abuse and infidelity; Giselle admits complicated love for him. After taking two pills, Giselle softens, then asks what Molly told police. Molly shares she reported the open safe and Giselle’s spilled pills but did not volunteer details about their relationship.

Giselle explains the marriage’s power imbalance: a prenup left her with no assets, and Charles alternated gifts with punishments. On the day he died, they fought about stability and the Cayman villa; Charles, drunk and enraged, removed his ring, opened the safe, pocketed a document, and stormed out—matching Molly’s observations of the open safe and, later, the missing deed. Giselle feels trapped at the hotel, awaiting autopsy and toxicology results.

Seeking support, Giselle asks Molly to be her maid going forward; Molly agrees if Mr. Snow permits. Giselle tips her $200 and then requests a risky favor: infiltrate the sealed suite and retrieve a gun she hid in the bathroom fan, claiming she needs protection. Anxious but loyal, Molly promises to try.

As Giselle departs, she says someone at the hotel gave her Molly’s address but “can’t remember” who, leaving Molly with new questions and heightened stakes.
