Gilda begins suspecting that Barney murdered Grace. She follows him home and spies on him. His home is in disarray since his wife died, and he can barely make food to feed himself. Gilda is almost caught by Barney’s daughter, which leads Barney to believe a stranger almost robbed his house. She then makes fake social media accounts to stalk Barney and his family. When Gilda realizes that Barney can barely dress himself, let alone feed himself or kill an ant, she realizes he couldn’t have murdered Grace.

Gilda continues pretending to be Grace in her email exchanges with Rosemary. The police arrive at Gilda’s door one night while Eleanor is over, and take Gilda in for questioning. They found Gilda’s email exchanges with Rosemary and believe Gilda is a suspect. Gilda’s destroyed car and erratic behavior caused by her anxiety and depression are treated as evidence of guilt by the police, who exhibit ableism.

While Gilda is being interrogated, Eleanor learns about Giuseppe. Eleanor is convinced that Gilda has been dating a man behind her back and storms off. Gilda begins skipping work, and once again finds herself with no money. Later, the police bring a drunk Gilda back in for questioning and reveal that they’ve brought Rosemary as well.
