On a phone call with Matty from prison, Libby hears a door open in the background, then Matty exclaims, Daddy right before the line goes dead.Libby realizes that Nick possibly faked his death and framed her, leaving their son as the sole beneficiary of his life insurance policy, as people convicted for murder are not allowed to collect the life insurance on their victims.
