Alice went home to their ancestral home, she called her personal dress designer to come over and bring some sketches of a party gown for her to see.
She chose a very elegant and beautiful long gown, thinking of her old classmate's faces as they look at her walking around with Marcus
Marcus, on the other hand, is busy planning their next step with Glenard and Brent. He told them that he made Alice attend the event so that she would not suspect that they are doing something that involves his old friends and classmates.
They were planning to leave Brooklyn right after the alumni, but they are going back again to start looking for Simone's family. They already made a plan for Alice, they already find some people who would abduct her at the party in the pretense of mistaken identity.
Alice is happily planning for the event, not knowing of the plan her husband and his friends made for her.
