Kelsey meets with Commander Ferguson and shows him the autopsy report, revealing that Becca was pregnant. Ferguson theorizes that the killer was motivated by either intense love or deep hatred.

Later, State Detective Madison confronts Kelsey in her hotel room. He warns her to stop her investigation, revealing that the police have surveillance footage of her and Peter breaking into the county building. He implies that Ferguson leaked files to her and threatens them. Shaken, Kelsey flees her hotel and goes to Millie’s Coffee House, where she tells Rae about the police threat and her urgent need to find Becca’s journal. They speculate that it may be at Millie’s house.

On May 19, 2011, nine months before Becca’s death, she and Jack are camping in Yellowstone when Jack receives a phone call from Senator Milt Ward, a presidential candidate.

Senator Ward offers Jack a position as a campaign speechwriter, dismissing a past academic incident as a non-issue. Jack accepts the job, and Ward arranges for his private plane to pick him up. Jack shares the news with Becca.
