Millie waits alone in an interrogation room for hours, growing increasingly anxious while Detective Ramirez delays questioning and Brock steps out briefly for a work call. When Ramirez finally arrives, Brock sits beside Millie and quietly reassures her, but the mood stays tense and formal as the interview begins on record.

Ramirez asks where Millie was the previous night, and Millie says she went to the Garricks’ penthouse to do cleaning and laundry, then left around 6:30. When Ramirez suggests Douglas Garrick asked her to come over, Millie denies it and insists her connection to Douglas was only professional. Ramirez then bluntly asks whether Millie had a sexual relationship with Douglas, which Millie strongly denies, with Brock backing her up.

Ramirez produces printed text messages from a burner phone found in Douglas’s dresser. The excerpts sound like secret rendezvous plans, and Millie notices her ordinary work-related messages about groceries and laundry are missing. Millie admits she deleted her own copies of the texts, leaving her unable to prove the fuller context, and Ramirez adds that Douglas placed calls to Millie as late as midnight, deepening suspicion.

Ramirez introduces more evidence: a photo of Wendy Garrick’s diamond bracelet, which police found in Millie’s jewelry box. Millie says Wendy gave it to her, then is shaken when Ramirez reveals it cost ten thousand dollars and highlights the inscription, “To W, You are mine forever, Love D,” pointing out Millie’s full first name is Wilhelmina. Ramirez also shows a photo of a six-thousand-dollar Oscar de la Renta dress found in Millie’s closet; Millie says Douglas told her to return it but never provided a receipt.

Finally, Ramirez confronts Millie with proof she checked into a motel in Albany in cash while Douglas was there on business, the same night Millie stood Brock up for dinner. Millie admits the motel stay but refuses to explain fully, trying to protect Wendy’s secrets, and reiterates she was not having an affair and that an affair would not prove murder. Ramirez claims Douglas “broke it off” and Millie shot him in anger, then drops two devastating revelations: Wendy is the one who reported Millie’s supposed affair, and Millie’s fingerprints are on the murder weapon.
