At a tense confrontation, the person who helped cover up a seven‑year‑old incident admits they hired thugs and apologizes to April, while an electronic cuff confirms Reuben was accused. In court, chaos erupts as someone cries "I am the killer!" and, despite confessions and pleas, the judge sentences April Simpson to be executed on the 30th. April collapses and is treated; Dexter carries her out as onlookers whisper. The confessor begs to make amends and offers money, but April drives them away. It ends with a threatening summons: be at The Nocturne in 30 minutes or face consequences.
