Molly wakes from a nightmare to pounding at her door and finds Detective Stark with officers. Stark arrests her for unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of drugs, and first-degree murder. Molly faints and later comes to in a holding cell before being escorted to an interrogation room.

During questioning, Stark gives Molly coffee and a muffin, then outlines the charges. She reveals the autopsy shows Charles Black was asphyxiated, not felled by a heart attack, and notes a missing fourth pillow from the bed, implying smothering. Molly denies any involvement.

Stark presses Molly on her relationship with Giselle, saying Giselle reported Molly lingered in the suite and took money from Black’s wallet; Molly clarifies they were tips. Stark cites coworkers who call Molly odd and capable of murder, and accuses her of pawning the victim’s wedding ring—confirmed by Cheryl following her to the pawn shop. Molly admits pawning the ring was wrong but denies theft. Mr. Snow corroborates hotel details and says he saw Molly take discarded food; Mr. Preston defends Molly as blameless, while Rodney allegedly tells police she’s capable of murder.

Stark adds that Molly’s cleaning solution was found on Black’s neck; Molly explains she checked his pulse. Stark then states the gun was recovered from Molly’s vacuum and that cocaine traces were found on her housekeeping cart, proposing a theory that Molly aided a hotel drug operation tied to Black and Giselle. Stark pushes Molly to plead guilty and cooperate.

Refusing to confess, Molly asserts her right to counsel. Given her phone, she calls Mr. Preston, explains her arrest, and asks for his help.
