Hours pass as Claire waits for some response from CNN. Every passing minute, she fears, Rory is getting closer. Her email pings: CNN is “definitely interested” in the story. At the same time, Claire’s phone rings. It is Kate Lane, a news anchor at CNN. Lane asks how they might authenticate the recording before they go on air with the bombshell story and then promises her team will find Charlotte Price. In the meantime, she asks Claire to come to CNN’s San Francisco studio to begin preliminary taping. Just as Claire is leaving, there is a knock at the door. It is FBI Agent Castro, who wants to ask Claire some questions about Eva James.
The day before the crash, Eva lands in Newark and calls Liz, who invites her to come to her house. Eva admits everything to Liz: her expulsion from Berkeley, her drug dealing, and now her desperate flight from a violent crime boss. The more Eva tells Liz, the more sympathetic Liz becomes. She tells Eva the only to get her life back is to cooperate with the feds: “You have to stop running” (239). Eva says she needs to disappear—secure a fake passport in New York and vanish.
