In the episode’s final moments, Lucy reveals that she tried meeting Charles the day he was arrested for Bunny’s murder.

While Charles cares for Lucy, he convinces her to return home. In turn, Lucy convinces Charles to stop ignoring the signs and be careful about the dangerous game unfolding in the Arconia.

Charles becomes convinced that evidence related to Bunny’s murder showing up in his apartment is not a coincidence. Moreover, he suspects that he might already know who is behind the inexplicable events.
Since the start of the second season, Charles has been receiving calls from an unknown number. Charles avoids these calls and never returns them. However, on Lucy’s advice, he answers the unknown number. The scene then shifts to a prison where Charles awaits to meet a prisoner. Charles sits at the prison telephone booth speaking with a mysterious figure on the other end. Charles believes that the person knows the answers to the constant invasions in his apartment.
The camera pans out to reveal that Charles is speaking to none other than Jan Bellows. The episode’s ending hints that Jan is behind pieces of evidence showing up in Charles’ apartment.
