Cecelia Winchester arrives at Millie and Enzo’s house, and both Millie and Enzo immediately recognize her from years ago, when she was a child Millie helped care for and Enzo also looked after. Detective Ramirez explains Cecelia is a public defender he respects and that he called her as soon as Millie reached out for help.

Cecelia gets straight to business, warning that the police are building a strong case against Enzo and may soon obtain a search warrant. She tells Millie and Enzo the main targets would be a murder weapon and any traces of Jonathan Lowell’s blood. Millie privately worries about how invasive a search would be and notes Enzo got rid of a bloody T-shirt from the night before.

Cecelia insists Enzo recount everything from the beginning, and Enzo describes his relationship with Suzette and what he did for Martha, then emphasizes he was working outside when Jonathan was murdered. Cecelia concludes the prosecution’s focus may connect to Enzo’s past and specifically to the name Dario Fontana, which visibly rattles Enzo.

Pressured to be truthful, Enzo admits Dario Fontana was his sister’s husband and, more importantly, that Enzo worked for Dario starting at sixteen and continued for eight years. Enzo refuses to detail what he did, but Cecelia makes clear that any dishonesty could destroy his defense if this history surfaces in court. Enzo swears to Cecelia that he did not kill Jonathan Lowell.

When Cecelia asks who did, Millie names Suzette Lowell. Cecelia and Ramirez point out Suzette was supposedly seen out all day, but Enzo offers a possible way around that: a route to park behind the houses and enter through the back door without being seen on the cul-de-sac. Cecelia leaves to pursue leads, promising to fight to keep the police from pinning the murder on Enzo.
