Will arrives home just before sunrise, parks the car behind Carrie’s, and leans back on his seat with eyes closed. He feels an intense sadness within him, but he does not know how to address it. He finds comfort in the car, as from there he will not have to face Alicia or Carrie. He believes he can comfortably sleep there and come up with something to tell Carrie. But at that moment, someone calls his phone — thinking that it is Alicia, but it is Carrie on the other side. Despite being immensely disappointed, he picks up, apologizes for returning home late, and that he is on the way into the house. The call disconnects, and he starts to imagine Carrie’s reaction after getting into the house.

A text is sent to Will’s phone, and it is a picture taken from inside his house with the lights off. The image is directed at Carrie’s study, and there is an active computer screen. He hurries into the house calling for Carrie, who is in her study, keenly watching something on her computer. He asks her about the phone call and the picture, but she claims not knowing about them for she is sleepy. Before going to bed, he checks everywhere in the house and ensures that the front door is locked. Even after going to bed, he does not close his eyes until the sunlight paints the room.
