Episode: 6
Helen walks through the dark bowling alley toward lane one. She picks up a bowling ball and pauses. She sets down the ball and begins lifting each fallen pin by hand. Helen carefully aligns every single pin back into its proper spot on the lane. Later, she sits on a couch and opens her phone. A photo in the members' group chat displays morning sunlight hitting her neatly arranged pins.
Helen walks down the darkened alley to lane one. She holds a heavy bowling ball before setting it aside. Then, Helen manually lifts every knocked-over pin. She stands them all upright in their exact spots until the rack is complete.
Helen rests on a couch and checks messages on her smartphone. She opens the bowling club group chat and notices a new post. A member shared an image of bright morning sunlight pouring across the pins she reset earlier.
“They didn't know if they'd fall tomorrow. But they stood firm. And so would I.”
“They didn't know if they'd fall tomorrow. But they stood firm. And so would I.”

The episode ends with Helen sitting on the couch, staring down at her phone screen. She sees the morning sunlight illuminating the pins she placed on lane one. The members are already sharing the picture inside their group chat. Will the patrons figure out that Helen returned, or will the trustee discover someone entered the building?
