After dinner, Chloe offers to do the dishes so Richard can relax. When Richard leaves Chloe and Joanne alone, however, Chloe expects Joanne to do the dishes. Joanne worries if she mentions this to Richard, he’ll take Chloe’s side again.
Joanne checks the baby monitor in the middle of the night and finds it black. In the nursery, she surprises Chloe, who drops a bottle of paracetamol, shattering it on the floor. Chloe claims she wasn’t doing anything, and when Richard enters, she cries in his arms that she did nothing wrong. Joanne grabs Chloe’s wrist, afraid that she gave medicine to Evie. Chloe asserts she was trying to let Joanne sleep, claiming Joanne is upset because she hates Chloe. Joanne counters that Chloe doesn’t like her. Richard halts the discussion. He tells Joanne she’s out of control, and Joanne feels enraged that Richard doesn’t believe her.
Richard sleeps in the guest room that night, and Joanne brings Evie to sleep in the main bedroom. Joanne wonders if Chloe was telling the truth about the paracetamol and returns to the nursery to find the baby monitor face down on the ground.
