Later, while returning Maya’s beloved teddy bear to her daycare, Claire notices something strange about its eyes. On closer inspection, she discovers a hidden camera embedded inside. Shocked and panicked, she finds a memory card recording intimate moments from inside her home, proving someone has been spying on her and her daughter. Believing Noah planted the camera, she rushes to confront him.
At Noah’s doorstep, Claire unleashes her fury, but Noah denies any knowledge of the camera. He appears genuinely surprised and even suggests going to the police. Claire refuses to believe him and storms off, feeling violated and terrified about what this might mean for her custody of Maya.
Seeking support, she visits her mother. While grabbing painkillers from a drawer, Claire stumbles upon a recent receipt from an electronics store—listing the exact type of surveillance camera hidden in the bear. Horrified, she realizes her own mother is behind the betrayal.
When confronted, Claire’s mother admits she planted the camera, claiming it was for Maya’s benefit. She believes Maya needs a “full family” and accuses Claire of not coping with the divorce. Claire, devastated and furious, declares she will go to the police if her mother ever comes near them again.
As trust shatters, Claire sends an apology to Noah, recognizing her misplaced blame. Though her world is shaken, she is resolute: no one will take her daughter away—no matter what it takes.
