After Brewster's departure, Christine rushed back to the hotel to remove the makeup. Once Arlena was gone, Christine impersonated the dead body to fool Brewster, who immediately left to get help while Patrick remained behind. Sneaking out to Pixy Cove, Christine made certain Arlena saw her Patrick had instructed Arlena to hide should his wife turn up before their rendezvous.

Afterwards, Christine returned to her room and applied fake suntan makeup, which she concealed from sight, before tossing the bottle out the window. While Christine was with Linda, she set Linda's watch forward twenty minutes, asked for the time to set her alibi, then returned the watch to the correct time. The murder was well-planned to falsify the time of death. She had been murdered to prevent her husband learning that she had been conned into investing a large inheritance towards 'fabulous opportunities'. Bringing together the suspects, Poirot denounces Patrick and Christine Redfern for Arlena's murder. Poirot is supplied with a photo of both people. Via a request for similar cases to the current one, Poirot receives details on the strangulation of Alice Corrigan from Surrey police – her body was found by a local teacher, while her husband Edward had an alibi. Poirot later discovers she felt guilt-ridden, after assuming she killed her step-mother through voodoo. Following the picnic, Linda attempts suicide with Christine's sleeping pills. Poirot later invites everyone to a picnic, which he uses to secretly observe their behaviour and test their vertigo. At a cave within Pixy Cove, Poirot notes smelling perfume that Arlena used there. Poirot learns that Brewster was nearly hit by a bottle during the morning, thrown from one of the guest rooms, while the hotel chambermaid recalls hearing someone running a bath at noon. At noon, Christine, Rosamund, Kenneth and Odell all met to play tennis.
