Rooms of Experience, Act 2

By Steffany Sommers

Starring Patty McCormack as Ada Wells

and Dan Lauria as DA Harvey Davis

Dana tries to outrun the case.

Literally.

But Ada Wells keeps following her home.

At Teddy’s funeral, Ada collapses.

Alexis asks for mercy.

Dana refuses.

Harvey warns her not to go soft.

The medical examiner confirms it was homicide.

Then reveals Ada could have hidden it.

No visible trauma.

No obvious cause of death.

No reason to test for helium.

But Ada left everything in plain sight.

Detective Curtis admits she never tried to escape responsibility.

Gina cares for Ada as her health begins to fail.

Ethan offers Dana a life built on trust.

And the blue envelopes hidden inside her desk keep demanding the truth.

Then, at Rebecca’s birthday party, Dana is handed a baby.

A little girl named Molly reaches for her.

A child with Down syndrome.

Molly touches Dana’s face.

And something buried begins to surface.

The prosecutor who insists there is always a choice can no longer avoid the choice she made.
