Elle goes to talk to him but Paul simply tells her "not now" before practically throwing her out of his office. When he closes the door we see some blood on his suit jacket.

Outside Susan overhears this and goes to eavesdrop on the conversation. Elle admits she is worried about her dad and asks if he's been to see Jill.
