Pip lugs Jason’s body into the woods while Ravi cleans out the interior of his car to remove all traces of Pip’s presence. Afterward, they use gasoline to torch the Green Scene warehouse and Jason’s car. The intention is to alert the police. Pip and Ravi return Max’s car to his driveway at 3:27 in the morning. Pip slips inside the house to return Max’s phone and remove the duct tape from the yard cameras. Max is still unconscious from the Rohypnol.

Back at home, Pip spends the rest of the night shredding all her bleached clothing and flushing every bit of evidence down the toilet. This process takes hours since she can only flush small quantities at a time. By dawn, she bags all the other items that aren’t flushable and deposits them in various dumpsters far from her house. By the time Pip finishes, her parents’ alarm clock goes off. They are planning a family outing to Adventureland, but Pip pleads illness. She claims she was up all night with stomach flu. Her ragged condition makes her story plausible, and her parents leave her to sleep the day away.

In the days to come, Pip scans the news tensely, waiting for the story of the murder to break.
