The Maid's Diary

Thirteen days before the murder, Daisy is cooking dinner, hoping to placate Jon after their spat that morning. He arrives with a rose, apparently also trying to smooth over their rift. Jon assures Daisy that he can handle the competition at work. He’s hired an investigator to look into Ahmed’s life. Daisy tells Jon about Vanessa’s controlling husband, Haruto. She suggests that the two couples should meet because she wants Jon’s opinion. Jon agrees and then receives a text that startles him. He covers and says that it’s nothing as he wanders upstairs. Daisy opens the mail and finds a plain brown envelope that was hand-delivered. Inside is another sinister message. She realizes that the stalker now has access to her home.

Upstairs, Jon is reading a flirtatious text from the woman named Mia. He tells himself that cheating is harmless and texts Mia to suggest they meet again.

On the evening of November 1, Mal and Benoit have just left Jon and are now inspecting his mud-spattered Audi. The detectives decide to call Daisy’s father, Labden Wentworth, the billionaire owner of TerraWest.
