Aly drives back toward the city with Josh in the passenger seat and Bradley Bluhm's body in the trunk. Josh is reeling from having accidentally killed Brad, while Aly remains darkly composed, joking about Brad's anticlimactic death and explaining her calm by referencing how often she witnesses senseless death as a nurse. She reassures Josh that his lack of guilt is normal and that removing Brad—a serial predator shielded by family money and a corrupt judge—made the world safer.

Josh confesses he's troubled less by the killing itself than by his absence of remorse, and floats the idea that he was always fated to be a killer, hinting at fears he's carried since childhood. Aly firmly rejects this framing, turning his earlier logic about teen victims back on him. Josh deflects discussing his backstory, calling it nightmarish, but assures Aly he's never killed or seriously hurt anyone before, his worst crimes being hacking and stalking her.

The mood lightens when Josh casually calls Aly his girlfriend, prompting playful banter about disposing of bodies as a couple's activity. Aly then reveals her plan B: her estranged uncle Nico, a low-level mob "cleaner" who sanitizes crime scenes. Her grandparents fled Sicily to escape the mob, and Nico was disowned, but her late father told her to seek him out in dire trouble. Nico previously coerced Aly into getting her cousin Greg a hospital janitorial job tied to suspicious body handling.

Aly explains that going to Nico means owing favors—likely demands on Josh's hacking skills and her hospital access—but it's safer than amateurs attempting dismemberment. Josh agrees, especially worried about media exposure given Brad's wealthy family. Finally, Josh formally asks Aly to be his girlfriend, offering "snacks and orgasms and maybe a little light stalking." Aly says yes, reflecting that Josh has pulled her out of grayness and that committing to him, despite everything, feels like the easiest decision she's made.
