Coco confronts Betty about the mysterious woman staying in her aunt's apartment. Betty attempts to cover for Rita with a fabricated story, testing her acting skills and integrity against Coco's seasoned intuition.
COCO: Your Aunt called me.
BETTY: I was afraid of that.
COCO: She wants to know who's staying in her apartment.
BETTY: It's just for a night or two, until she finds her own place. I tried to explain that to Aunt Ruth, but the connection was bad and her plane was leaving and she got it all mixed up.
