She visits her work husband in the hospital. They take swigs from a flask and drown their sorrows. Michael watches the whole thing from the hospital hallway. He is 100% stalking Nicole. Since Nicole is distracted by the significant changes in her life, she isn't worried about Michael anymore. Angela, on the other hand, is and cautions her sister to be more careful.As Nicole is packing up, her co-worker Lisa mentions that Michael looks just like her friend's ex-boyfriend, Todd. Nicole searches Todd online and finds a criminal record. Angela's co-worker Padma is also getting intel on Michael; it turns out he isn't an employee of the firm. Padma tries to tell Angela, but she left work early due to a fake email sent by Michael pretending to be her husband.Angela gets abducted by Michael and used as collateral to bring Nicole to him in... a warehouse. That's right; we are at the beginning of the movie. Nicole is wandering around the warehouse in a scarf with her phone flashlight.After getting grabbed by Michael, Nicole is maybe tied up to a rickety chair. Michael has a shrine to Nicole and has been stalking her for over a year. Michael wants to leave the country with Nicole and made her a fake ID. He waves a gun around and tells Nicole his plan for their future, and Angela is not included in that plan. Nicole sees Angela is starting to wake up and pretends to be in love with Michael. Michael is so excited that he doesn't notice Angel sneaking up behind him and hitting him in the head. Nicole grabs the gun, but Michael has a backup.Michael raises his gun to shoot Angela, but we know Nicole is a better shot, and she takes him out. Bullet to the heart.Six months later, Angela has a new baby, and Nicole has switched firms. When a man named Michael shows up at the party, both sisters look the other way. Totally uninterested.
