Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers

Having read Oliver’s draft, Officer Gray visits his apartment with a search warrant and takes him to the police station for questioning. She knows that Oliver and Marshall disliked each other and that he has feelings for Julia. She asks what Oliver’s protagonist planned to do to his twin, and Oliver leaves.

Julia helps Vera prepare her dinner party and her dramatic reveal. Oliver storms in late, yelling at Vera for giving his draft to the police. Julia tells him that Officer Gray took it from her, not Vera. She then yells at him for pining for her and fantasizing about Emma as his daughter and demands to know what he did to Marshall. Oliver admits that he planted drugs on him, as he was always blamed for Marshall’s troublemaking. He planned to call the police on him but couldn’t go through with it, and when Marshall died, Oliver was terrified that he died of an overdose. Confused, Julia asks Vera who killed Marshall and broke into her shop. Vera confesses that she broke into her own shop, as she noticed some jars had been moved around or taken. She realized the killer must have been searching for the flash drive.
