Lo can’t reach Pam or Judah before bed, and she calls the hospital. Pam is out of surgery and sleeping. Lo’s messages to Judah are being left unread. After this, Lo struggles to sleep. At 12:49 am, she hears a soft knock on her door. It’s Judah; his phone was off while he was flying in, and the kids are with his mother. Lo cries. She tells him about helping Carrie, adding that she hasn’t told the police about Carrie.
Judah thinks Carrie killed Marcus and thinks Lo is gullible. Lo says Carrie couldn’t have gotten out of the bath and into Marcus’s room without Lo seeing her. Judah looks at the bathroom and agrees. He wonders about the span of reception on the cordless phone. Lo says she wants to go to bed, and Judah says he wants her. Lo happily agrees to have sex.
In the morning, Lo takes a bath and thinks about Carrie’s and Marcus’s baths. Lo gets out, wakes up Judah, and tells him to call the room phone. While they’re on the call, she walks down the hall with the cordless. Judah can hear her clearly when she’s in front of Marcus’s room.
