Andy wakes up in her apartment, having fallen asleep while packing. Laura is still on the news, and as Gordon predicted, all of the coverage is focused on her rather than the shooter. There is still a light on in Laura’s house. It is nighttime, and raining, but Andy needs to pick up her car from the mall. She runs toward the mall, but while processing the events of the day, unthinkingly runs back to her mother’s house. She decides to ride her bike to the mall; in the garage, she sees a man looking to break into her mother’s house. Andy decides to try and help her mother, who is injured, and texts the police to come. She realizes that Laura and the intruder are having a conversation, and that her mother appears to know the man, or at least, knows what he is doing at her house. The man mentions Paula Koontz, and then tells Laura he is going to torture her until she tells him what he wants to know. He is suffocating Laura when Andy sneaks up behind him and hits him in the head with a frying pan, killing him.
Andy and Laura hear sirens and know that the police are close.
