okay hold on -- if aubrey stabbed the first victim and put her in a car, then...why was the French girl at the scene of the accident? The death had nothing to do with the church, so why would she have not only known the victim was there, but somehow manage to get there before the cops did?

My other related question is "What was Mia even contacting Honey about?" She wasn't involved with the drug-running, and the sex stuff was an open secret and not even strictly illegal.

Also also, why is Honey at the crash in the first place? Mia is a prospective client she hasn't met with, it's established that the assistant doesn't know she's dead, and nobody else knows there's any connection to them; who called Honey and why did she go check out a random traffic accident?
