Bob gets called into the sheriff’s office. He assumes they want to see them because of the Summers case—he was interviewed years before because he knew Kelly—but Marcus and Pam question him about Stacy instead. They inform him that she’s gone missing and show him a picture of her. Bob realizes Stacy is the woman he had a one-night stand with. He hadn’t remembered her because he’d been drunk. He admits that he slept with her but insists he hasn’t had contact with her in weeks. He doesn’t know why Stacy would’ve told her roommate that she was meeting up with him again this week. The police let Bob go but forbid him to leave town. Bob realizes he’s a suspect in Stacy’s disappearance.

Sarah is watching Summer’s swim meet when Bob shows up. He accuses her of kidnapping Stacy and framing him in her disappearance. Sarah insists she doesn’t know what he’s talking about. A furious Bob grabs Sarah’s arm, and she tells him to stop making a scene.

Marcus and Pam go out for drinks and discuss their cases. Marcus is thankful for Pam because she’s good at talking him through things. They discuss Bob’s interview and speculate about his involvement with Stacy and Kelly. Marcus informs Pam that Bob would have had a motive to kill Kelly, who was charged with Bob’s brother Greg’s murder but then released.

Pam asks more questions about the Summers case because she wasn’t on the force at the time. Recounting the investigation, Marcus realizes “how sloppy [his] police work was” (87). Stevens was on the case and didn’t even corroborate Sarah’s alibi for the night of the murder. Pam thinks Sarah could be involved. Marcus isn’t sure but swears that they’ll solve the case together.

The unknown girl wakes up in the basement again. Her captor gives her food and water, but she still can’t see who they are or where she is.

Bob is on the Morgan Foundation board and before a meeting, he stews over his situation with Sarah. He still can’t make sense of what happened to Stacy, but he doesn’t trust Sarah. During the meeting, Anne gives updates on Alejandro’s case. Bob gets distracted when he receives texts from Brad about Stacy’s case. Brad discovered that she has a police record and “was charged with extortion for blackmailing” a congressperson she was sleeping with (95). He also discovered that Stacy had previously been on the foundation’s payroll. Reeling, Bob can’t focus for the rest of the meeting.

After the board meeting, Sarah and Anne go out for coffee to discuss it. Anne remarks on Bob’s strange behavior, which Sarah attributes to the divorce. Then Bob texts her, accusing her once more of disappearing Stacy. He threatens to hurt her if she doesn’t stop. Sarah doesn’t want to worry but knows Bob could hurt her.

Marcus and Pam call Anne into the sheriff’s office. The interview leads them no further on the Summers case because Anne can’t remember her former testimony. Afterward, they get a call that an officer has found Stacy’s car.

At the scene, Marcus and his team find blood on the steering wheel, Stacy’s dead phone, and Bob’s business card. Marcus wants to bring Bob in, but he knows the card doesn’t prove anything new.

While making Summer breakfast, Sarah worries about her daughter’s safety. After breakfast, Summer goes to pack for her day with Bob. Meanwhile, Alejandro arrives to fix Sarah’s porch—one of the odd jobs she gave him. They end up chatting about his time in prison. Sarah relates to his experience more than he knows; she has also done bad things.

On his way to Sarah’s house, Bob stews over what he learned about Stacy. He’s convinced that Sarah hired Stacy as a server at the recent foundation gala in an attempt to make him cheat.

At the house, he confronts Sarah, accusing her of forcing him into a sexual encounter with Stacy so that she had an excuse to divorce him. When Sarah denies it, Bob gets angry and starts yelling. He doesn’t stop until Summer comes downstairs.

The police officer from the hospital calls Marcus to say that Stevens is dead. He was recovering after his attempted death by suicide, but the officer just discovered his murdered body in his hospital bed.

Marcus races to the scene and examines Stevens’s body. His murderer slit his throat with what appears to be a scalpel. He and his team speculate that the perpetrator was skilled and had a personal vendetta against Stevens. However, Marcus can’t be sure who was behind his death because so many people hated Stevens.

Sarah returns home after a grocery run. Alejandro is still working outside, but the kitchen rug in the living room is flipped up. The bathroom is unused, too, so she assumes Alejandro came inside looking for something. She shows no sign of suspicion when she invites Alejandro in. He tells her that he’s sorry he heard Bob speaking so violently to her. They get into a conversation about relationships; Sarah compares marriage to prison.

Later, Summer returns home with Bob. Sarah notices a bruise on her chin and Summer reveals that she fell while Bob was out—he had left her home alone for several hours. Furious, Sarah confronts Bob, insisting that he’s not going to get custody if he can’t take care of Summer. After Bob leaves, Eleanor, her first husband Adam’s mother, appears at Sarah’s door.

Marcus and Pam study their open files: Stevens’s murder, Kelly’s murder, and Stacy’s disappearance. Because so many people associated with these cases are dead, they aren’t sure where to start with their investigations. They guess that Stacy might have been extorting Bob and wonder if Sarah was involved in Stacy’s disappearance. Finally, they decide to surveil Bob and question Sarah.
