Chapter 35 Summary

In a flashback, Shane and Tim go downstairs. Chelsea searches for a weapon but comes up empty-handed. Brooke and Chelsea discuss who might be the killer. Chelsea says Tim because he’s always been in love with Brooke, he had opportunity with Kayla, and he dated Tracy Gifford.

Chapter 36 Summary

In the present, Tim teases Brooke into rating her birthday, insisting it must be in the top five, but she says it’s only in the top 10. The necklace ruined the night. Tim then tells her about a private practice looking for a nurse practitioner and urges her to apply. Tim doesn’t like Brooke working at the prison; he is worried that she might have to treat Shane. Brooke lied and said that she hasn’t seen Shane there yet. Tim reminds her that Shane looked him in the eye when he stabbed him that night and told him Brooke was next. But Brooke has seen the scar Tim has and is surprised it isn’t larger.

At the house, Margie comments on the necklace that Tim left on the kitchen table. After Margie leaves, Brooke picks it up and studies it. She realizes that it is missing a diamond on one point of the snowflake, just like her old one.
