Crazy eyes come out. Charlie rips the covers off and grabs Aria’s arms, standing over her. Desperately he orders her to tell him! Tell him it's not him. Tell him he didn't do it!!! Aria looks away, terrified. Charlie screams at her to TELL HIM!!!! Oliver runs back into the room and pulls Charlie off of her, asking what he’s doing. Charlie pulls his arms free, demanding Oliver let go. Aria pulls the blankets to cover herself again. Charlie says that he didn't do anything. Oliver puts a brotherly hand on Charlie’s should and says they should leave. If not, she'll get shocked again. This persuades Charlie and Aria is terrified. I would be, too. Charlie was downright terrifying right then.
Aria’s Mom asks Archie if he’s heard from Aria. Mom is worried. Papa’s starting to get worried, too. Archie isn’t. She's probably drunk and sleeping somewhere. He tries calling but her phone is off. He notices a text from her with a video message. Oh, no, it’s the angry, crying one. Archie says that this is definitely proof that she’s drunk. Parents aren’t so sure.
Oliver and Minion take Aria back to Emma’s house. Why do people put huge portraits of themselves up on the wall when they're single? I never understand that. You know what you look like. Anyone who visits you knows what you look like. The one of Emma is pretty, though. She looks happy. Aria stares at the portrait and then the apartment. She says that no matter how much they look alike, they’ve lived differently for over 10 years. It's difficult living someone else's life all of a sudden. Oliver replies that it’s hard, but nothing's impossible.
Emma studied abroad since she was young so she never spent time with her family. That's sad. Her biological mother died 20 years ago. Her dad was doing his political activities and her stepmother was busy with supporting her husband. After studying abroad, she always lived alone, and didn't have a particular job. Aria looks at pictures of smiling Emma with friends, painting. Oliver says that after she marries, Emma will live with her husband. So there aren't many chances to meet someone who knows Emma. Aria can't take her eyes away from the smiling face of Emma. Particularly since she recently saw a mostly dead one, it is rather unnerving.
Oliver presents the ring box to Aria and tells her to make everything hers. And I bet her ring size is smaller than Emma’s so the ring fits. Aria opens the box to see the ring. She remembers picking it up and meeting Emma. She takes it out and tries it on. It fits like it was meant to be there. And didn’t fit Emma’s finger, even after it was resized.
Sia and Leo are taking care of Charlie’s bedroom, making sure that everything is OCD perfect. She measures with measuring tape the placement of the throw blanket on the bed and he’s measuring to make sure that the remotes are perfectly parallel. Wow. She walks over to him and stumbles, causing a glass of juice to spill onto the floor. They stare at it, terrified. All you have to do is immediately dilute it so that it doesn’t stain and sop up the excess water. It will totally work.
Sia worries what they’ll do. Sounding like a martyr, Leo says that he put the glass there so he’ll take all the blame. He looks at her and – sounding tragic – says that even without him, Manager Kim (Sia) will do well. He’ll cheer for her even from the distance. She looks touched. Do they like each other? He tells her to hurry and get away from there. She replies that she can’t! She can go somewhere else because she’s young and pretty but he’s all old now, so it won't work.
Charlie arrives. They report the spill and instead of getting upset, Charlie says that he understands. Sia says that she’ll put in a new carpet. He tells her not to worry about it and asks for them to leave. When they question him, he repeats that he’s okay. They hurry out. Charlie takes off his jacket. He glances at the stain, irritated, and throws the jacket onto his couch. He looks out the window and sees Emma’s body floating in the pool. It vanishes. He sits down and the juice stain starts to spread, looking like blood. Charlie pulls out his medication and shoves a whole bunch of pills in his mouth.
He looks up at the chandelier and it vibrates. He can’t breathe. He tries to open his shirt, pulling off a button. As he gasps for breath, he crawls up the round staircase and grabs a book. A key is hidden inside. Where's the key to?
At Emma’s, Oliver is having Aria study basic English and French. It's not about really doing a good job, but acting like you are. Aria asks if she’s not going to go to Hell when she dies, for doing all of this? Oliver asks if she really believes in Hell. She says that she doesn’t and he tells her to stop worrying then. He gives her a CD with music on it to listen to and memorize. That would suck if their tastes were totally different. He hands her a yearbook with classmates’ faces to memorize.
Aria looks inside. Someone has written opposite a picture of smiling Emma with a blonde, that "If you wear a mask, you ultimately can't be happy." She asks Oliver how he knows so much about Emma? He knows her house password. Oliver answers that he knows more about Aria. Should he say some of it? She shakes her head.
