Finn continues writing her book but decides not to have Theresa and Aimee be the killers in the story, as it is too close to the truth. She chooses a larger-than-life villain, based on Feliks, and changes details accordingly. The contract killer in the story drugs the husband, but realizing the wife has not paid the fee yet, parks in an abandoned garage to call the wife. Someone steps in and shoots the husband dead with a silencer. The killer then teams up with a hotshot detective to solve the crime.

As she is writing, a drunk Steven calls Finn, asking to talk; he thinks he has made a mistake with Theresa. She appears to be hiding something—Steven found a lot of cash in her underwear drawer, and a cop is looking out for her, but Theresa has been defensive and refusing to talk about any of it. She also has a new client whom Steven is worried about, as the client is mixed up in shady business.

Finn meets Steven and they drive to the community park at the end of the street to talk. Even as Steven admits he is cheating on Theresa with Bree, he confides in Finn his worry that Theresa is not only cheating on him, but also involved in something dangerous.
