Marisa figures Frankie will wake her for school the next morning and panics when he doesn’t, and she sleeps in. While Frankie says she can talk to Betsy later, Marisa doesn’t believe him and realizes she needs to break into the WiFi to contact someone outside the house.
Betsy tells the police that she walked into a door, causing her facial bruise. She additionally tells them that she has broken up with Frankie. She sticks to the script Rory gave her but is still on edge after being held hostage in her apartment all night by a bodyguard.
The detectives tell Betsy that Crissy says it was Betsy who was at Red Rocks the day Yevgeny died and she denies this. One of the detectives asks about her mother’s death since she died in a similar manner to Yevgeny. Betsy reveals that her mother jumped off a cliff after consuming some mushrooms. Betsy’s mother discovered a note from their stepfather confessing to sexually abusing Crissy in an old L.L. Bean backpack she’d brought out for the hike. After that, her mother “dove” off the cliff.
