Christie's solo piece is shortlisted at the Arts Competition after Christie's manuscript ends up with Sophie, prompting questions about how it reached her. Organizers confirm Christie is likely top three and tell the presenter that South District Commander Sewell Lewis will give the first-place award. When Sewell appears in the audience, Christie panics: "If he gives the award, my identity will be exposed." The ceremony then announces Christie as the winner and calls her to the stage while Sewell Lewis is introduced to present the prize, leaving her exposure imminent as she steps forward.
