He apologizes for if he had led her on, but Rachel states that it's her fault and goes to the bathroom, where she scolds herself for moving too quickly and concludes that he needs space. Rachel then kisses David, who doesn't reciprocate. Late one night, David and Rachel share drinks and David gives Rachel a watch, a present for all she had done to help him. Wanting the time alone with David, Rachel poisons Judith's coffee and fakes a call to David's nanny Eleana from Immigration claiming her appointment regarding her ill mother (whom she was trying to move into the country for better healthcare) had been rescheduled, leaving her to go to New York alone with David and Isabelle. He does and, while out having drinks to celebrate, Rachel finds out that Judith is accompanying David on a business trip to New York, causing her to have a breakdown in the restroom. Using a computer at an Internet cafe, Rachel sent Grady an anonymous email threatening to expose the affair to his wife if he doesn't drop the account. When Rachel finds out the firm is in financial trouble if they don't get an account, she takes Wally up on his date offer and finds out from him that the other company that is in the running for the account is led by Grady Bransen, a former employee who had an affair with Judith. After the funeral, David begins looking for a nanny and Rachel uses some manipulations to get David to choose the one she prefers. When Rachel finds out that the doctors are hopeful Carol will recover, she sneaks into the hospital and kills her with an injection of air to cause an aneurysm, justifying the act by saying that Carol wouldn't be the same even if she could recover.

Rachel is shown to have great tension with her cousin Nora, which increases when Nora finds the home video she stole from David and realizes how obsessed she is with him. She makes a dinner for David and Isabelle and learns that Carol has contracted encephalitis, which she researches later while bemoaning the prospect of David having to watch Carol suffer and die like that. She also helps David manage things at the office during this time, during which we see her disdain for co-workers Judith Manion (who also worked closely with David) and Wally, who often tried to ask Rachel out for a date.

Later that night, she goes through David's things and steals a home movie of him and his family. She offers to take Isabelle home and drop her off at school the next day, comforting the young girl and assuring her that her mother would be OK. When Carol becomes sick and is hospitalized, Rachel immediately rushes to the hospital, bringing a juice box for Isabelle. She and Nora also became roommates, which led Rachel to strongly despise her cousin. However, David already had a wife Carol and a young daughter Isabelle. Over that time, she became obsessed with him, desiring to become his wife. Prior to the events of the movie, Rachel worked as the executive assistant to David Prescott, the head of a firm, for three years. She never felt she belonged in the family and longed to be loved since then. Rachel's parents died when she was young and she was sent to live with her aunt, uncle, and cousin Nora.
