He leaves New York. Gets a driver. Returns to work. Ring is growing — Kleiner money, Ukraine team producing, Amazon watching. Jamie wants more than Steve can give. Prism gets caught in the middle. He meets a woman named Aunt K at a ranch that used to belong to the painter of cottages. For a while, life is normal. Then two catastrophes collide.
Steve flies to New York with his security team ahead of Evie's birth. Tamper screws set to eleven o'clock. NYPD drivers on shift. The birth of his daughter is being planned alongside logistics that have nothing to do with joy.
The nanny approaches Steve in the kitchen: 'This will probably get me fired.' She has a brother in the FBI. Her brother told her to tell Steve immediately. The poisoning stops being a suspicion.
Three months before the departure, Tara texts a friend asking to be kidnapped. On June 4, 2018, she walks out with Evie and calls an Uber to a bus zone. Bryan Crutcher enters the front passenger seat. The recording captures everything — including Tara telling her father that police will arrest her for poisoning Steve. Walsh Sr. tells her to come home. Four days later he agrees to the conditions for a visit to New York. Tara flies there with Evie and never returns; under oath, she later admits she lied about coming back.
