An officer leads Paige away as Grant swears that he did not contact her. He recalls Perla asking to use his phone and realizes what she has done. The officer questioning Grant asks if there is a history of infidelity in their marriage. Grant thinks of the kiss with Marci Vennigan but responds “no.”
Officers search the Wultz home. When they enter the bedroom, they find Perla’s body surrounded by three American girl dolls. One of the officers expresses surprise that the death is being called a death by suicide.
Detectives arrive to interrogate Grant, who promptly calls an attorney. He is shown a string of text messages sent by Perla from his phone, requesting Paige to come to the house and meet him in Sophie’s room. Grant begins to understand Perla’s intention to frame him.
