Carly encourages Brynn to collect information about Tripp, Shane, and Charlotte. Brynn learns that Shane’s family owns one of the biggest real estate companies in Boston and the year Mr. Larkin was killed, they made massive donations to both Saint Ambrose and the local police department. Brynn’s Uncle Nick warns her against looking into this murder case or writing about it, because she could upset the community.

Shane insists on leading the way through the woods even though he’s no good at science. He wants to go to a nearby fire pit, where he promised to meet Charlotte. Tripp says Shane can go alone to meet Charlotte because he’s going to continue collecting leaves. Shane begs Tripp to come with him, but Tripp declines, putting in his headphones and walking in the opposite direction.

Lisa Marie sends more texts to Tripp, which he continues to ignore. He assumes she must be staying with her friend Valerie from high school. Regina encourages Tripp to give his mother another chance and meet her for dinner. Tripp recalls years ago when Lisa Marie left and told him she was “done” with being a mother.

Brynn comes to the bakery to discuss the memorial garden with Tripp.
