Harris, Jada, and Rafe watch Tripp’s video. Harris calls it proof that Clyde is the mastermind behind everything because he knew if he took Tripp, he could get Ava to do anything he demanded in order to save her son. Harris points out that Clyde’s plan to take him out failed miserably and he thinks they have a criminal conspiracy on their hands with Rebecca Goldman. Rafe remembers that he had Goldman fill out the missing persons report on Tripp and Wendy and she listed herself as the point of contact, so if anyone reached out, it would go straight to her. Rafe instructs Jada to pull Rebecca’s GPS info from when Tripp and Wendy went missing. Harris gets a pain in his side so Rafe asks if he’s sure he’s okay to do this. Harris insists that he is so Rafe instructs him to call the prison to find out if there was any contact between Goldman and Clyde. Harris says he’s on it. Rafe hopes this leads them to something.

Holly says she’s sorry as she had no idea. Tate tells her not to be sorry and to just help him by telling the truth. Holly questions what exactly to tell. Tate says that the pills were Holly’s and her overdose was because she took those pills and that he had nothing to do with it. Holly responds that she can’t do that.
Harris tells Jada and Rafe that he couldn’t get through to the prison as apparently there was a toxic chemical spill and their hands are full. Jada tracks Rebecca’s GPS and finds a location listed a dozen times since Tripp and Wendy went missing. Jada notes that it’s too far out of town to be a stop on her trail. Jada finds out it’s the brewery by the airport. Harris decides he’s going with Rafe. Rafe instructs Jada to find out any more stops that Rebecca made as he then exits with Harris.

Abe tells Lexie that he remembers after he got shot, she appeared to him from Heaven and said it wasn’t his time as he was needed here in this life. Lexie responds that he still is. Abe cries that they need Paulina as so many people count on her, so she can’t leave. Lexie clarifies that she’s not there to take anyone, but to help he and Paulina. Lexie instructs Abe to close his eyes and feel the love inside his heart, then transfer in to Paulina. Abe sits back down next to Paulina.
