Stella’s fake report includes an honest account of her time with Rose, including mentions of Rose’s violent outbursts and emotional instability. The report recommends that Ian be granted sole custody, with limited visitation rights going to Beth, who will see her three times per week, while Harriet will be permitted to see her once a week. She also recommends that Rose be enrolled in an institution for children with special emotional needs. Additionally, she urges the court to mandate a more rigorous therapy program for Rose.

Detective Garcia stops by Stella’s apartment. She has Stella’s mother’s court records and offers to take over Stella’s investigation. Stella thanks her for the help but declines the offer. She tells Garcia about her interest in the fact that Beth transferred from Yale to Hamilton (an odd, downward trajectory). Garcia offers to look into it, suspecting that Beth was expelled or was avoiding an unpleasant incident of some kind. Stella accepts this particular offer. There is a palpable sexual tension in the air that surprises Stella, who has never been attracted to a woman before. She cannot decide whether Garcia is putting out romantic signals.
