When the lights return, Gigi remains shaken by the voice that answered her through the bug. The words confirm what she already fears: the unseen listener is the only person who has ever called her "sunshine," a dangerous man she privately nicknamed Code Name Mimosas.

Gigi remembers meeting him more than a year earlier. The man knew that Gigi was Grayson Hawthorne’s half sister, claimed to be Grayson’s friend, and carried an ominous mixture of charm, violence, and secrets. Later, Grayson warned Gigi that if she ever saw the man again, she should leave immediately and call him.

Brady interrupts Gigi’s thoughts and tells her that Knox pressed the hint button without consulting the group. Knox defends the choice, arguing that the finale is nearing its end and that hints must be earned, so waiting would be a mistake.

Gigi hides the bug again and rejoins Brady and Knox below, wondering whether Mimosas has been listening to everything, including Knox’s confession. Knox retrieves a solid wooden box from a newly opened space in the floorboards, and Brady identifies it as the challenge they must solve to earn the hint.

Gigi forces herself to focus on the game instead of the secret listener. She decides she will tell Avery or Xander everything later, but for now she will keep the secret long enough to help her team solve the puzzle box, a type of puzzle she knows well.
