Whisper Network

On April 12, Sloane is working with her door closed, as she has taken to doing since filing the lawsuit. She hears a ruckus outside, and Ardie’s assistant Anna tells Sloane that someone just jumped off the building. As receptionist Beatrice’s phones keep ringing, Anna receives a text that the jumper might have been Ames. Sirens blare. Bobbi calls the receptionist. Ames, Grace, and Ardie are not in their offices. Sloane tells Beatrice not to talk to Bobbi until Sloane figures out who died. On the sidewalk, a white sheet covers a body. Sloane calls Ames’s number and it rings from under the sheet. Quickly ending the call, Sloane thinks about their relationship. She remembers Ames’s kids, and then wonders why he did this.

On April 13, almost everyone who works on Ames’s floor is out. The detectives blame Sloane for not making them stay, but she claims she was not thinking straight. She wonders if she played a role in his death. As two detectives question Sloane, she asks if they always do this for suicide cases. They inform her that they haven’t yet ruled out foul play: Ames did not leave a note, had fresh injuries, and left blood on the balcony.
