Winter in Paradise

On Monday, Baker learns that the contact information for his father’s boss and company is defunct. When Irene and Cash return to the villa, they are both sunburned and secretive. Baker receives a text from his estranged wife, Anna, about his return flight. Irene announces she’s having a private dinner guest, so the brothers make plans to go out. Hoping to see Ayers, Baker goes to La Tapa, where a bartender tells him she isn’t working. The next morning, Baker goes for a run and finds himself suddenly overcome with grief. As he sobs on the side of the road, Ayers drives by and offers to give him a ride. Baker refuses, not wanting her to see the villa and guess his connection to Russ. That evening, he returns to La Tapa and finds Cash speaking familiarly with Ayers. He learns they spent the previous day snorkeling together, which explains his brother’s sunburn. They argue, and Baker admits he and Anna have separated. After Cash leaves, Baker asks Ayers for a date, and she accepts.

At the villa, Irene recognizes her design preferences in the villa’s decor, which she feels as another layer of betrayal. Her attempts to find Russ’s boss online are unsuccessful, and a search by a coworker also yields nothing.
