Florian is grounded with no access to computer or television. He knows that he deserves it. However, he is allowed to do school activities and becomes very involved in student council. Two weeks later, his dad picks him up and gives him bad news. A newspaper has published a story about the fake painting. The article says that the National Gallery is hushing up the incident and that Nevrescu is the prime suspect. The article also reveals that a boy is part of the investigation. This will cause problems for Rivers because he is named as the agent in charge. Oliver Hobbes is giving interviews, and is assumed to be the leak. Margaret asks why Pavel Novak’s name isn’t being mentioned, because they know he was involved. A news report saying that Rivers is suspected of entering the Romanian embassy with a false identity distracts them. Florian knows that it will be his fault if Rivers is fired, but his mother urges him to solve the crime first in order to prevent this from happening. His parents agree to temporarily lift his restriction if he stays in The Underground.
