On Sunday morning, Willa texts Wyatt and arranges to meet. She leaves a note for her mother claiming that she’s meeting Marnie and then goes to Wyatt’s house. There, she recounts the recent ghostly events and the emotional distress she has experienced, and she shows him a photo of the screenplay page. Their research reveals that the page comes from an unproduced film called The Final Honeymoon, written by Diana Del Mar, the 1930s actress who once lived in Willa’s house and died in the upstairs bathtub.

They discover this information on a blog written by Paige Pollan, a young film enthusiast who has documented obscure Hollywood history. Willa emails Paige requesting more information about Diana and the screenplay. During their investigation, Wyatt reveals that he has been researching Willa’s father’s death and suggests that it was not her fault, as she has long believed. From his research, he tells Willa what she already knows about how her father died. They were at the YMCA for their morning swim, and they had an argument. Moments later, Willa’s father had a massive heart attack and died. Willa has always believed that the stress of their argument caused the heart attack, but Wyatt tells her that this is not medically possible.
