Outside a marble vault, Lyra and Grayson wait as Grayson explains that his uncle, Toby, is Eve’s father and a father figure to Avery. The vault unlocks, and Rohan hands Lyra a ledger. Grayson confronts Savannah, who rebuffs him and leaves with Rohan. Grayson locks the vault, triggering a five-minute timer. Lyra and Grayson sign the ledger, opening a panel. Grayson admits that a secret he kept left Savannah exposed to Eve’s influence and says Savannah needs to lose the game. Lyra claims a bronze compass inscribed with a riddle, committing to win for both herself and Grayson.
While Lyra studies the vault wall, Grayson discreetly answers a message on his watch, telling his brothers that Toby’s information concerns a woman named Alice, not Eve. Lyra spots invisible writing on the wall, and Grayson recognizes the surface as a sliding puzzle. The timer expires, and the deadbolt unlocks. They finish the puzzle, which reveals a clear directive emphasizing that actions outweigh words.
On a cliffside, Rohan and Savannah examine the compass riddle. Rohan tests her by standing near the edge; Savannah pulls him back. He returns the glass dice he previously stole from her, then kisses her.
