In March 1975, Virginia arrives early at the terminal and restlessly polishes the brass of the four-sided clock before stowing her supplies. She has barely slept, having stayed up late with her daughter Ruby, who was talking about Ryan.

Virginia leaves a brochure for the O’Keeffe exhibition on Totto’s workstation and locks eyes with him once he arrives and notices it. After telling her coworkers that O’Keeffe’s middle name was Totto, she urges Totto to meet with her in private. They go up to the Grand Central School of Art, where Virginia confronts him with her theory that he is related to Clara Darden. Totto tilts his head to reveal he has no Adam’s apple. Virginia realizes Totto is a woman in disguise: Totto is actually Clara Darden.

Clara demands her watercolor back, explaining she overheard Virginia on the telephone discussing her name alongside Levon Zakarian. She proves ownership by describing a signed, dated illustration on the reverse of the watercolor, which was a preparatory study for the oil painting. Clara explains that during the Depression, she, Levon, and Hornsby had initially agreed to release the work anonymously, but Levon and Hornsby both died when their train to a Chicago exhibition plunged into a river before they could reveal Clyde’s true identity.
