Another model stops Veronica from leaving and helps her repair her makeup. Veronica reflects on her twin sister, Polly, who was born with developmental differences. Polly now lives in a home for people with disabilities because Veronica and her mother can’t afford to take care of her. Veronica’s hope is that this Vogue job will launch her modeling career and she will be able to afford to bring Polly home.

When the photographer demands that the models go outside in a snowstorm, Veronica objects, and he kicks her off the shoot. She goes upstairs to change and gather her things, and, to avoid the other models, she explores the mansion. In the organ room, she discovers a sheaf of papers, each with a clue. She recognizes the document as a scavenger hunt and puts the clues in her pocket. She will give them to Joshua, the archivist, who told them about the missing Magnolia Diamond earlier. The power goes out because of a snowstorm, and she realizes that everyone has left. She is alone and locked in.
