Now, at Alya's house.
Nadia Chamack appears on the evening news.
Marinette and Alya watch from her room, on the computer screen.

Nadia: "In tonight's top news, Sabine Cheng, the wife of Tom Dupain, was found dead in the Dupain-Cheng household, earlier today. The police consider Tom Dupain as a likely suspect. Mayor Bourgeois will-"

Alya turns off the monitor and hugs Marinette.

Alya: Marinette, I'm so sorry about your mom.
I can't believe this happened to her.

Marinette stays silent, Alya breaks up the hug for a bit.

Alya: Listen girl, you know you can stay here as long as you need, right?

Marinette: (Sniff) Thanks, Alya.

Just then, Alya's mother, Marlena, walks in.

Marlena: Marinette, we have your room setup.

Marinette nods.

Marlena: By the way, a young man named Barry, stopped by and dropped off some spare clothes for you.

Alya and Marinette look surprised.

Marinette: Barry?

Alya: Guess he figured you'd need them.

Marinette: Thanks, Mrs. Cesaire.

She and Marinette walk out of the room.

Alya grabs her phone and dials Barry's number.

At Barry's apartment, Barry works at his desk analyzing the DNA samples, his phone starts vibrating.

(Bzzz! Bzzz!)

He picks it up, to see Alya calling.
He swipes up, and holds the phone to his ear.

Barry: What's up, Alya?

Alya: Hey, Barr. You dropped off some spare clothes for Marinette?

Barry: Yeah, I figured after seeing her mother's dead body, she probably wouldn't want to spend the night at her house, without her parents.

Alya: Yeah, I just figured I'd call and tell you thanks, on her behalf.

Barry: How's she holding up?

Alya: She's, uh...she's been better.

Barry: Still a little shaken, huh?

Alya: Yeah. Say, how did you find my address, anyway?
I never told you where I live.

Barry: Through Nino.

Alya: Oh, of course.

Barry: Well, I've got to get back to work. See you, Alya.

Alya: Bye, Barry. And thanks.

Barry: No worries, Alya.

He hangs up.

As he puts the phone down, the spectrometer completes its analysis.

Barry leans over it and inspects the results.

Barry: Gideon.

Gideon: "YES, BARRY ALLEN?"

Barry: Can you run the results of the spectrometer through the DNA database?

Gideon: "OF COURSE, BARRY ALLEN."

Barry waits for a moment.

Gideon: "SCAN COMPLETE, DNA AND HAIR FIBERS CONSISTENT WITH THAT OF: LILA ROSSI."

Barry: That's impossible.
Lila was at school the entire time I was there.
There's no way she could have killed Mrs. Dupain Cheng.

Barry: Something doesn't add up.

Back at Alya's house. Alya finishes brushing her teeth, and heads to her room, ready for bed.

As she does, she stops at Marinette's bedroom door. Marinette lies awake in bed,
Tikki sitting on the dresser next to her.

(Knock, Knock.)

Alya: Marinette, you all right?

Marinette: I'm fine, Alya.

Alya: Just checking. Night, girl.

Marinette: Night.

Alya begins to walk away.
But as she does, she hears Marinette sobbing.
Alya shuts her eyes, solemnly. And walks to her bedroom.
