While it was unlikely for the duo to meet after the past incidents, Stephanie wonders if the latter conducted a prison break to get out of it. Meanwhile, the preview cuts to the scenes of an extravagant wedding, where Emily is set to tie the knot and invites Smothers to the ceremony. 

When Stephanie questions Nelson’s intentions, she quips, “Do you think I invited you to get revenge? For stealing my life and taking my kid away from me.”

Previously, during their bookstore meeting, Lively’s character also dropped a hint about her plan by saying, “If I do try to murder you, it’ll make an amazing sequel.”
