Big Summer

Leela calls Daphne to gush over her photos from the night before. When Daphne tells her about Drue’s death, Leela offers to send her a dress for the funeral photos. Daphne calls her parents then Darshi, who encourages her to find Nick Andros. Darshi had sent joking texts the night before about killing Drue if she hurt Daphne. Both women worry about the police finding these texts. Though Drue’s death is all over the news, no one knows that the cause of death is.

Daphne begins searching for Nick’s identity. She tries to call the sailing club and searches online for yoga teachers in Boston—all to no avail. Daphne overhears Drue’s grandmother speaking with an aunt about Drue’s will, which had recently been signed. Stuart won’t inherit all of Drue’s trust fund money. Daphne hears that the will stipulated that half of Drue’s money would go to a high school friend, which makes Daphne worry that she’ll be implicated if she is the high school friend who stands to benefit from Drue’s death.

Arden Lowe, Stuart’s sister, stops Daphne for a conversation. Arden tells Daphne about Stuart’s relationship with Drue, which everyone thought had started in college. Arden reveals that after graduating from the Lathrop School, Drue had completed an extra year at a boarding school in California, where she first met Stuart. She had dumped Stuart for a tech giant’s son, then, when she started dating Stuart a second time in college, dumped him again for another wealthier man’s son. Arden is surprised to hear about the pitch deck, having assumed that Drue’s family was wealthy enough to finance the wedding without needing to make advertisement deals. Suddenly, Darshi pulls up.

Darshi and Daphne go to Nick’s supposed sailing club, the Provincetown Yacht Club. They speak to the owner, an older woman who is suspicious of their questions about Drue. Daphne mentions the name of Nick’s boat, the Lady Lu. She confirms that a Dan Brannigan sails that ship, but he’s currently out of reach. The woman, Dora, tells Daphne to ask around the docks for Dan to determine if he's the same man as Nick. Dora recommends finding the traffic cop dressed as a pilgrim.

In town, Daphne suddenly puts the pieces together and figures out where Nick is. They rush back to the Weinberg’s house and find Nick hiding in an empty salon room connected to Daphne’s bedroom. The salon room is fully outfitted with Nick’s belongings. He admits that he used to live in the house as a child; he snuck into the wedding party to revisit his childhood home. He reintroduces himself as Nick Carvalho, but Darshi searches for the past owners of the house and identifies him as Aidan Killian. He had changed his name to Nick when the Carvalho family adopted him after his mother’s murder. Daphne remembers hearing about the murder from Drue when they were younger. The woman’s dead body had been found with her son curled up around her. There had even been a Lifetime movie made about the murder. The killer had been a random gutter cleaner who had no relationship with Aidan’s mother.

Aidan had lied about his name because he wanted to avoid the other guests, who would have known about his new identity. While Daphne had been sleeping, Aidan had explored the house and overheard a heated conversation between Drue’s father and a younger woman. Aidan almost got caught snooping, so he ran off. He had come back to the house to grab his belongings when he found out about Drue’s death.

Detective McMichaels exits the house with other police officers and a young woman handcuffed and pleading. Daphne finds Arden, who tells her that a caterer had been arrested. The caterer had pictures of Drue as well as a gun. Nick reveals that he recognizes Arden’s voice; she is the one he had heard conspiring with Drue’s father the night before.
