Margot leaves the Jefferson house, still reeling from the sight of Lucy and Levi kissing. Outside, Lucy is leaving Levi’s house and calls over to Margot. Margot asks what Lucy is doing there, and Lucy becomes embarrassed, noting how Margot wanted her to come for Christmas and realizing that maybe she wasn’t supposed to come. Margot hugs Lucy, inviting her back to her house, and asks why Lucy is with Levi, though she doesn’t mention seeing the kiss. Lucy says that Margot wasn’t home, and her parents suggested checking at the Jeffersons’. When she saw Levi’s Jeep, she went to see him while she waited for Margot. Margot accepts the explanation, noticing that Levi is still in the doorway to his house.
Nicole, Sloane, and Margot wait outside while Detective Frank and the police search their house. Frank emerges with plastic bags of evidence but doesn’t tell the women what he found. He looks in the shed, where the fraternity men are drying deer meat for jerky, and comments on the power imbalance of four women living in a house owned by a fraternity. He implies that Lucy might have hurt Levi out of self-defense, and he tells the women he’ll take them to the station for questioning if they don’t cooperate.
