While everyone else was off having a good time, Walter, David, and their bodyguards chaotically scrambled to get things under control.

Walter realized that staying in the room would not change a thing. So, he decided to stick close to Evangeline, watching over her as she slept soundly through the night. Minnie was not the average troublemaker; she had the Bennison family in her corner. Whatever stunt she pulled, it never really came as a shock to him.

David's investigation revealed that when Minnie made her getaway, he and Evangeline had been cutting a rug on the rooftop.

Everyone else might brush it off, but not Evangeline. Whenever she was involved, Walter would lose his composure, like a storm that could not be quelled.
