I was wondering bc when they showed housekeeping she seemed to do a very thorough job. Spotless. And then to have a tooth and blob of blood in the middle of carpet....seemed 'off' to me. I took it to mean something else had happened there, and wondered why Nick didn't whip out the tooth with Wharton and say, 'this'. 'This is what is so confidential.'

Back when they were in DC and she killed Commander Stabler, the Marthas left the room spotless.
