A clerk at the Atelier Pietro Longhi, a famous Venetian costume shop, is confronted by Sienna, who insists on seeing Giorgio Venci, the shop’s designer. The clerk tries to deflect, and she gives him a note to give to Giorgio.

Once Giorgio sees it, he demands she be sent up straight away.

On the C-130, the provost reveals to Langdon that he was not shot but rather drugged with benzodiazepines that erased his short-term memory. Everything from the hospital to Sienna’s apartment had been staged after the provost and Sienna decided to work together to bring Langdon aboard.

Their plan had gone awry once Langdon decided to use Sienna’s laptop to access his Harvard account, as it allowed Sinskey and Brüder to track him. This forced the provost to disavow Vayentha, inadvertently setting her loose as she attempted to reacquire Langdon without permission. She hadn’t intended to kill Langdon in the attic of the Palazzo but rather shoot her blank-loaded pistol at him so he would believe her. Instead, Sienna pushed her to her death, thus going against the provost and the Consortium altogether. They all now believe Sienna intends to find where Zobrist hid Inferno and unleash it onto the world herself.
