496

EMILY (V.O.): I'm starting
to notice that while Vera

497
00:20:18,021 --> 00:20:20,521
is the choir leader on paper,
it's actually the Belle

498
00:20:20,588 --> 00:20:24,788
with the weakest voice that
seems to be calling the shots.

499
00:20:24,855 --> 00:20:26,855
Although, judging by
Brooke's attempted coup

500
00:20:26,922 --> 00:20:29,054
earlier this evening,
I'd say the power dynamic

501
00:20:29,154 --> 00:20:31,555
is anything but settled.

502
00:20:31,655 --> 00:20:33,321
And it strikes me
as very suspicious

503
00:20:33,388 --> 00:20:35,788
that both women targeted
by mysterious "accidents"

504
00:20:35,855 --> 00:20:38,855
have held the coveted position
of lead soloist.

Is everything okay?

507
00:20:48,588 --> 00:20:51,588
-Yeah, I'm just curious
how your investigation

508
00:20:51,655 --> 00:20:53,755
into Debbie's near-miss
the other day is going.

510

There's nothing to suggest
it was intentional,

511
00:20:59,221 --> 00:21:00,688
and since no one was hurt--

512

this isn't the end of it,

to do with Clara's death.
