At Il Giardino, R.J. tells Katie that Luna found Tomâs backpack in her apartment and that inside the backpack were letters from Tom to Poppy claiming that Tom was Lunaâs biological father. Katie wonders if Poppy is capable of murder.
Poppy returns to the apartment so that they can clear things up. Luna wants to know how the backpack got into their apartment. Poppy says she wants to know too and repeats that she had nothing to do with the deaths at Il Giardino.
At Billâs house, Bill is less than enthusiastic about a huge contract that Liam has brought to him. Bill admits that he is concerned about Poppy.
Sheila massages Deacons shoulders and observes that he seems especially stressed. He says business has to pick up because it has been slow since Tom and Hollis died. She says it will. She asks what Katie asked him. He says he isnât sure what she was getting at, but it was about Hollis and Tomâs deaths, and it had something to do with the new lady in Bill Spencerâs life.
At Billâs house, Liam wonders what happened with Poppy between this morning and now. Bill isnât sure, but he can tell that something is troubling Poppy.
At Il Giardino, Sheila wonders what about Poppy. Deacon says he gets the feeling that Katie is not a fan. Sheila says Billâs ex is probably jealous. Deacon doesnât know about that, but he does know that they arenât the only ones wondering what really happened. Sheila blames herself again for not listening to Hollis that night because the answers theyâre looking for could have been in Tomâs backpack.
At the apartment, Luna says the backpack didnât appear out of thin air. Poppy says she doesnât understand it either, but it wasnât her; she had nothing to do with it.
At Il Giardinoâs patio bar, Katie asks R.J. if Poppy killed Tom and Hollis. R.J. canât imagine that Poppy did it. Katie admits that itâs a terrible accusation but asks who else would have wanted them dead. R.J. tells Katie that Poppy met with Tom the night that he died.
Liam tells Bill that since he and Poppy are happy together, it means that whatever is going on with her has nothing to do with him. Bill wishes Poppy felt like she could confide in him. Liam is certain that eventually Poppy will come to him with it, but they were both thrust into this new life together at warp speed. Bill says he isnât having a problem adjusting to it. Liam says having a daughter has softened Bill â in a good way. Bill says having Poppy and Luna in his world has enriched his life in ways that he could never have imagined. He tells Liam to give it some time and he, Wyatt and Will are going to feel the same way.
In the office at Il Giardino, Sheila recalls how adamant Hollis was about showing her Tomâs backpack. Deacon thinks Hollis must have thought Tomâs death wasnât an accident. Sheila says she just wanted that filthy thing out of there, and now itâs long gone, along with any clues that might have been inside it. She says that is on her.
At the apartment, Luna presses Poppy to explain how Tomâs backpack got there. Poppy repeats that it wasnât her. She says Luna knows her better than anyone and asks her to believe that she would never hurt anyone, let alone take a life. Luna says she believes it wasnât Poppy.
At the Il Giardino patio, R.J. tells Katie that Poppy said something to Luna about taking matters into her own hands. Katie concludes that Poppy had motive and opportunity, and she is a known drug user, and now two men are dead. R.J. says they overdosed. Katie asks what if they didnât know they were ingesting drugs. What if it was intentional cold-blooded murder? Katie asks R.J. if he saw any evidence of drugs in Tomâs backpack. He says he didnât look. He doesnât see how Poppy would need to eliminate Tom when she is certain that Bill is Lunaâs father. He tells his aunt that they canât accuse people without facts. She agrees and says it could all be a horrible coincidence, but the more she hears, the less she believes that is the case. R.J.âs pizza arrives. He tells Katie to be careful with the information she has. She says she will. R.J. leaves. Deacon and Sheila come out to the patio. Sheila says Deacon told her that Katie had questions about Tom and Hollis. Sheila says she was the last person to see Hollis alive. Katie asks if Hollis said anything about Tom. Sheila said Hollis wanted her to see Tomâs backpack. Katie excitedly asks if Sheila saw the backpack. Sheila wants to know why Katie is so interested in Tomâs belongings. Katie says two men are dead because of drug overdose. Sheila says Tom never did drugs while he was working there. Deacon says Tom had a history of drug use, but he was transparent about it, and he was clean. Katie asks about Hollis. Sheila says Hollis never did drugs in his life. Deacon says Hollis barely ever drank. Katie wonders how he died of an overdose. Sheila says they keep asking the same question. Deacon says everything seems off since their deaths, even the place doesnât feel the same. He says they werenât just employees; they were friends. Katie says she is sorry for their loss. Sheila asks if Katie knew Hollis and Tom well. Katie says she knew Hollis a little bit. She said Tom lived an interesting life. Deacon says Tom went from rock star to the streets and back again. He says Tom was a real mensch. Katie says itâs too bad that they both died so suddenly. Sheila says itâs heartbreaking. She says if Katie is wondering about Tomâs backpack, itâs probably in a landfill. Deacon says he is sure Katie has a lot of questions just as he does, but he has to get back to work. Sheila and Deacon leave Katie at the bar. Katie calls Chief Baker and says she thinks she has evidence regarding the deaths at Il Giardino.
At Billâs house, Bill tells Liam that in his book, Poppy can do no wrong. Liam says Bill has got it bad. Bill says Poppy id beautiful, warm, loving, and patient. Liam says patience is the one she will need the most. Bill protests that he is the new easygoing version of himself. Liam says he is happy that Poppy and Luna got to skip ahead to the chill Bill. Bill says they deserve it. They all deserve it. He couldnât do it without his boys. Liam says he wonât have to. They all support him and want whatâs best for everyone. Bill says the best is yet to come.
At Poppy and Lunaâs apartment, Poppy says they should go back to Billâs. Luna says she is getting an eerie feeling just being there. Poppy says Luna doesnât have to go back to the apartment again. She says thatâs their past and Bill is their future.
Katie rushes into Billâs house. Bill says he is glad she is there because heâs been wanting to talk to her about Poppy. She says she wants to talk to him about Poppy too. She says she has to listen to what she has to say because his life could depend on it.
Deacon is in the office at Il Giardino. Sheila brings him a bowl of her grandmotherâs recipe chicken stew guaranteed to cure stress and ease a worried mind. He takes a big bite and chokes on it, gasping that it is too spicy. Sheila brings him milk and apologizes, saying her father liked it spicy. When he recovers, he says he is coming to terms with the fact that Tom and Hollis are not coming back. Sheila says no, but there is an open investigation and maybe someone will find out why they arenât with them any longer and justice will be served if there was foul play. Deacon observes that Katie seemed very interested in the case. Sheila says she doesnât quite understand why and asks if Deacon does. He doesnât either, but all her questions lead to Billâs new girlfriend.
At Billâs house, Katie tells Bill that he thinks he could be in trouble. She says she just found out something disturbing. Bill tells Katie to leave Poppy alone. Katie tells Bill not to shut her down because what she has to say is important. He says he already knows. She says she doesnât think he understands what he has gotten himself into. She says this is serious. She says she is not trying to intimidate his girlfriend or hurt her feelings, but she thinks his life could be in jeopardy. She says she thinks his life could be in danger because of Poppy. He asks her what she is talking about. Katie says Tom Starr played at the music festival the night Bill met Poppy and Luna was supposedly conceived. She says she knows about Poppy’s mints that are really drugs. Bill interjects that Poppy doesnât do drugs anymore and asks where Katie is going with this. Katie says Tom showed up again with a backpack full of letters claiming to be Lunaâs father. Bill says he knows; Poppy told him. Katie says Poppy saw Tom the night he died, shortly before he collapsed onstage, and asks if he doesnât think thatâs strange. He says he thinks she is being strange. Katie asks him why Poppy waited decades to do a paternity test and then when they did get the test they immediately moved in and cashed in on the Spencer empire. She speculates that Tom Starr resurfaced and continued to claim to be Lunaâs father, Poppy met with him and suddenly he died, then Hollis had Tomâs backpack, read the letters, and became a liability, but before he could say anything he overdosed too, on the same drugs that killed Tom.
Poppy enters Billâs house and hears Katie tell Bill two men are dead, and his life could be in jeopardy. She says Poppy is dangerous. Bill asks her what she is saying. He asks her if she thinks Poppy is a murderer. She says, âYes.â
