Holly

Bonnie bikes to the Jet Mart, where she purchases a drink and chats briefly with Emilio. Meanwhile, Rodney Harris drives his van to the abandoned automotive repair shop. Emily positions her wheelchair. Her sciatica is flaring up, and she needs it. Rodney feels tired and muddled, but he convinces himself that it is not Alzheimer’s and that another serving of brains will help him.

As Bonnie rides past the automotive shop, Rodney flags her down and asks for her help moving Emily’s wheelchair into the van. As she pushes Emily up the ramp, Rodney injects her with Valium. To his surprise, Bonnie doesn’t go down, but stumbles, disoriented, toward the street. When he grabs her, she elbows him hard in the face before passing out. Emily takes the SIM card out of Bonnie’s phone and hastily places the forged note on the seat of her bike.

Holly meets with Avram Welch, quickly moving him down the suspect list based on his genuine demeanor and descriptions of Cary. Next, she plans to visit Rodney Harris.
