Ophie sneaks up to the attic to see Clara again. She doesn’t know how to execute her plan to help Clara, but she tries to summon Daddy’s words of wisdom. Meanwhile, she wonders who she’ll tell when she discovers the identity of Clara’s murderer.
Clara surfaces when she sees that Ophie has treats. The two sit together and talk about Clara’s death, and although Clara confirms that she was murdered, she still can’t remember the events leading up to her death. She starts by recalling what her life was like at the manor, revealing that she and Richard Caruthers were in love. She also guesses that it was her big secret that got her killed. A terrified Ophie wonders if she is now in danger too because of her secret relationship with ghosts. She also wonders how Clara’s romance with Richard relates to the woman’s death.
