Krista insists that Blake join her weekly visit to Becky and Malcolm’s apartment, framing it as a double date to help pull Blake out of his isolation since losing his job. Blake arrives uneasy, self-conscious about seeing Malcolm, who still works at Coble & Roy, and already tense about starting a low-level temp job the following week.

While waiting for Becky’s lasagna to finish baking, the group settles in the living room with wine. Blake feels judged and itchy in his dress shirt, drinks quickly, and tries to keep a low profile. Conversation turns to their new tenant, Whitney, whom Krista praises as sweet, quiet, and gorgeous; Blake downplays noticing her, claiming he hardly sees her.

Krista then shares stories from their tenant interviews, including the unsettling applicant who made a psychic prediction that Blake would stab Krista in their living room. Becky is fascinated, while Blake dismisses the woman as unstable and mocks details like salt and a tinfoil hat; Krista disputes some of his embellishments but confirms the core claim. Becky and Malcolm exchange concerned looks, and Becky comments about certain people having a volatile “vibe.”

Malcolm notes Blake’s recent behavior—obsessive cleaning and heavy gym time—as worrying, suggesting Blake has “fallen apart a bit,” which further agitates Blake. He insists he is fine and points to his upcoming temp job as proof that things will normalize and that Krista is in no danger.

Krista deescalates by taking Blake’s hand and saying they are teasing, joking that any “murder” would only come with wedding planning. The conversation shifts to possible wedding dates, and Blake remains uneasy, noticing Becky’s strained politeness and avoidance of eye contact. He ends the evening indignant at the implication that he could hurt Krista, reaffirming to himself that he loves her and would never harm her.
