She Didn't See It Coming

Despite the trying circumstances, Lizzie has managed to stay calm. The family and Paige are now at the apartment, and Lizzie notes that Sam is unable to cope with the situation. She also reflects that she never liked Paige, Bryden’s best friend, in part because Lizzie chafed when Bryden labeled Paige as Clara’s “favorite babysitter.” At the time, Lizzie was jealous of Paige’s close relationship with her sister and niece.

The detectives question Derek at the police department. He has a criminal defense attorney with him. Derek insists that he was not having an affair with Bryden and claims to have been working home alone at the time of the murder. Derek’s attorney quickly ends the interview when he realizes that the detectives do not have any evidence against Derek. Derek does not give the police permission to search his house.

Donna and Lizzie speak in the kitchen. Donna thinks that Sam might have murdered Bryden. She weeps, telling Lizzie that she feels guilty for having moved to Florida and not keeping a closer eye on Bryden. Paige interrupts their conversation and reassures Donna that what happened to Bryden wasn’t her fault.

Jayne assesses what they have learned so far in the investigation.
