Lisa reminds an extremely anxious Starr to breathe as they arrive at the police station for Starr’s interview with the detectives, Gomez and Wilkes. They pass Carlos’s desk, which Starr notices has pictures of her on it. Though Starr is terrified, Carlos says that she must talk to the detectives today if she wants the case to be handled properly. Lisa demands to go into the interview room with Starr. Knowing she is not alone, Starr feels ready to take on the interview. Upon entering the interview room, she repeats the teachings of “the talk” in her head and immediately feels her voice changing to ensure she does not sound “ghetto.” She remains hyper aware of her speech and gestures throughout the interview.
