Continuing the past timeline, Margot lies awake, worried that Levi came into their house. She tries to convince herself that Lucy was correct that the drugs messed with Margot’s sense of perception and that maybe Levi was just running a pledge errand. However, Margot worries that he overheard her telling Lucy about the night Eliza died and might be upset. Hearing a groaning and knocking sound, Margot wanders into the hall, stepping in what she thinks is vomit. Nicole is in the bathroom, huddled over the toilet, and Margot lifts her up, noticing finger-shaped bruises on her arms. Nicole protests weakly, but Margot flushes the toilet, which is full of vomit, and helps Nicole up. Margot goes to her bedroom, guiding Nicole there too. As she settles into bed, Margot thinks that it couldn’t have been Nicole making sounds in the bathroom, as Nicole was nearly passed out at the toilet, and the sound of the toilet tank is clearly audible in Margot’s room.
Two weeks after Lucy’s disappearance, Detective Frank returns to the house with a warrant to search the property. Margot notes that Lucy’s phone is dead and is hidden under her bed for the police to find.
