Matt tries calling Sam, but her phone goes to voicemail. He reflects that he has been a poor boyfriend, always prioritizing his career, and is surprised by how much he misses her. After the camera crew from the Fresh Network finishes filming at his restaurant, producer Karen approaches him for drinks, clearly flirting.
Matt dismisses her, regretting their previous involvement, and lies that he has plans with Sam. He tries Sam again with no success, then calls Jason, whose phone also goes to voicemail. Matt grows suspicious when he realizes his last text from Jason was over a week ago, and an irrational anger builds as he wonders if Sam and Jason are together.
Matt parks outside Jason’s high-security condominium and slips in through a side door, hoping to catch Sam there unannounced. The doorman intercepts him and calls up to Jason’s penthouse, and Matt is granted access.
Jason greets him warmly and introduces his girlfriend, Lilac. When Jason mentions Sam, Lilac reveals that Sam recently visited Jason, which unsettles Matt. After Lilac leaves, Jason reports that Sam called him while heading to the police station. She had met a woman named Bonnie through a serial killer forum who claimed to have information about the Butcher—and Bonnie was recently murdered.
