Part 4, Chapter 35 Summary

Florence worries about Whitney and Nick learning that she used a different name at the party. When she hears Whitney arrive, Florence slips three ground-up pain pills into Whitney’s drink. Florence hands Whitney the drink and then asks to speak to Whitney alone. Florence tells her that she is happy for Whitney and Trevor and toasts them, forcing Whitney to down her drink. As they leave the room, Whitney stumbles and Amy decides to take her home.

Later that night, Nick asks Florence why Amy kept referring to her as “Florence.” Florence tells him that Helen is her middle name and that she started going by the name in college, after she knew Whitney.

In the morning, Florence emails Greta as Helen and tells her that she wants new representation because Greta keeps asking her about the pages for her novel. Florence finds a Peter Bowles novel on Nick’s bookshelf and opens it.

Later, Florence realizes that Helen’s body will wash up on shore eventually. Florence knows that when Helen’s body washes up, Idrissi will put together what happened, and it will be over for her.
