The Last Housewife

Shay runs until she finds a road, and an older couple pulls over to help her. The couple provide a phone so she can call Jamie, who arrives shortly. Shay reports what happened, and she notes that Jamie does not seem shocked that Laurel is alive.

The next day, Jamie explains that Greg E. left finance for politics, noting that he is a campaign manager for Governor Barry. The governor is rolling out a new series of policies to reform almost every aspect of the New York government, and he is announcing his reforms at a party held at Nico Stagiritis’s home. Shay pieces together that Nico Stagiritis is a name derived from Aristotle’s birthplace, Stagira, and his father, Nicomachus. Shay and Jamie agree that Governor Barry is likely also a Pater, and Shay identifies a series of men that Jamie’s coworker found in connection with the event, connecting their real names to their Pater identities. Shay and Jamie both start to lose hope, as they had planned to deliver the evidence to Governor Barry, but Shay proposes that she return to Hilltop, where the party is likely to be held, to save Laurel. Jamie thinks this is ridiculous, but Shay insists that she has a responsibility to save Laurel from Don.
