The Paris Apartment

Mimi forgets about the Halloween party she and Camille are throwing in the cellar. Mimi loves Halloween but is anxious about socializing. She attempts to put on spooky makeup to show she’s making an effort and ends up drawing dark tears, which she sees as an outer reflection of her inner feelings.

Watching the Halloween party guests enter the building reminds the concierge of her daughter, who moved to Paris to be a dancer. She recalls speaking to Ben about her daughter, a delight because no one ever asks her about her family. The concierge is anxious about so many young people coming into the building after everything that’s happened there.

The Halloween party begins in the courtyard. Wondering if one of the partygoers might have known Ben, Jess puts a sheet over her head as a costume and joins the party.
