On April 27, Grace pays her nanny Julieta. It’s a pittance—Grace found Julieta through an organization that helps immigrant women find jobs, had her sign a contract, and installed four cameras so that she could monitor her at any time. After the nanny leaves, Grace turns the TV on, even though Emma Kate is not supposed to watch it until she is two. Putting her feet up on their expensive, new ottoman, she remembers that she needs to start Emma Kate’s college fund. As Grace snuggles Emma, Emma wiggles to turn over. Grace wants to let her figure it out on her own, encouraging her verbally. Finally, Emma flips herself onto her belly. Grace cheers, knowing this is probably what other people would call an important moment. Instead, she wonders, “What if I love my job as much as I love my baby?” (366).
The detectives come to the door—Grace called them because she remembered that before Ames died, Katherine told her that Ames wanted to talk with her. Grace assumed that the talk had to do with Katherine rejecting Ames’s sexual advances, but now that Katherine is denying these advances, Grace knows that Katherine was lying. The detectives question why this memory occurred in response to Katherine taking Truviv’s side and ask Grace if she smokes.
