Chapter 12 Summary

Pip and Cara sit in the Wards’ kitchen discussing their college admissions, and Pip states she hopes to go to Columbia on early admission. Pip is distracted with thoughts of the note she received while camping, and she thinks about how, out of her persons of interest list, only Naomi would have known exactly where they were camping. Pip casually asks Cara if she can use her laptop, and under the printer settings, she clicks Keep Printed Documents so that she can now keep track of everything that comes out of the Wards’ printer. If she receives another threatening note, she can find out whether it came from Naomi.

Capstone Project Log—Entry 13 includes a transcript of Pip’s second interview with Emma Hutton. Pip confronts Emma with the idea that Andie was secretly seeing an older man while she was dating Sal, and Emma confirms this but states she does not know him. Pip asks Emma whether Andie took any issue with Naomi, and Emma says no but that Andie did not like Naomi’s father, Mr. Ward, at all, referring to him as “an asshole.”

In her notes on the interview, Pip remembers that Mr. Ward said he hardly knew Andie, but her attitude toward him implies they knew each other more than he let on.
