Major Production - Second Script Writing

So I posted the plot synopsis of episode 2 the other day, showing exactly what went on in that episode, or what I planned any way.
When it came to writing the actual script, everything went well. I kept the scenes to a good length, some of the characters I introduced, such as Laura, Richard's sister, I believe have clear personality in the short bits they are in, and I also think I portrayed Evelyn quite well.
As the episode focuses in and around Evelyn more so than Edward, I think I did well in properly introducing her character. The foreshadowing at the start, shows something quite dark happening in her life, with her murdering an unknown man. The story then shows how Evelyn's week went leading up to this event - including finding out who the man is. There is a direct contrast between scenes as Evelyn goes from a happy, bubbly girl to becoming severely depressed. This is shown through a couple of montages, about 20 pages apart, both focusing on the exact same scene and things happening, but with two completely different moods.
I have encountered a problem however, the entirety of plot summary, only covers 32 pages and I am meant to have between 40 and 45. I therefore require additional content to place within.

I am thinking to include some Edward scenes, as the focus is practically entirely Evelyn at the minute. In these Edward scenes, I expect to have him dealing with the aftermath of having murdered Richard. This could include him covering things up from Roland, attempting to clean the room and dispose of the body (even though the disposal is shown during an Evelyn scene with many CUT TO:'s as she reads a bible verse out in Church that directly correlates and contradicts Edward in every way)

Once I know how to continue with the second script, I shall post on here what the additional content will be.
