Who is Layla on ‘A Million Little Things’?
Sophie went to see Layla’s family again to let them know that Sophie was heading to the police station. Layla was one of Peter’s previous students who he also suggested she get into a bathing suit for her music lesson. Sophie believed that Layla died by suicide because Peter did the same thing to Layla that he did to Sophie.
Layla’s mother, Georgia Gregory (Kari Matchett), got upset and shut the door in Sophie’s face. Meanwhile, Layla’s father, Christopher Gregory (Michael Weston), ran after Sophie to give her Layla’s diary. Sophie wanted to bring Layla’s diary along to the station to corroborate her story about Peter. In the journal, Layla wrote, “I don’t want him to see me in my bathing suit.”
What happened to Sophie?
Sophie shared her story with the police officer and then told them about the selfie she sent Peter. The officers unexpectedly got called out of the room. When he returned, the officer went over the timeline and then implied that Sophie didn’t have a case. Privately, the detective told Delilah, Maggie, and Gary that there’s not enough evidence. Peter was “smart enough to cover his tracks.” A defense attorney would get the case thrown out and victim-blame Sophie. However, the officer admitted that now that there is a case open on Peter, they would have more chance of a conviction if it happened again to someone else.
