Cecilia and John-Paul talk after Polly’s amputation. He asks why she told Rachel Crowley now, of all times; Cecilia tells him it’s because Rachel was been trying to hit Connor, believing him guilty. John-Paul realizes, as Cecilia did, that the accident and Polly’s injuries are his fault. Cecilia thinks about what her new life as an amputee’s mother will be like and promises herself that she will take on the role and excel at it. She plans to give up the P&F presidency and the Tupperware sales. John-Paul frets that Rachel will tell the police, but Cecilia says she doesn’t think so. They’ve already paid enough for the act and the secret.

Rachel thinks about her new knowledge and the power it gives her. She can turn in John-Paul and end his life any time she wants. She thinks angrily about John-Paul’s insistence that Janie laughed at him; she finds the reason unequal to the consequence. Instead of calling the police, she calls Rob. Lauren answers and springs into action when Rachel asks if she can spend the night at their place.
