Someone emails Bodie a clip of Brad Keith, Thalia’s half brother, discussing the pain that the hearing for a retrial is causing his family. The interviewer notes that Vanessa thinks differently about the trial. The person who has sent Bodie the link blames her for Keith’s distress.
Later that night, Geoff orders pizza for dinner, as he, Bodie, and Alder look through a suitcase of papers, photos, and yearbooks from Granby Geoff has brought. They notice the pattern of mud on Robbie’s back from photos the night of the murder, realizing its splatter comes from riding a bike through campus. Thinking through the timeline, they decide that Robbie had enough time to murder Thalia and join the party. Bodie remains skeptical and still wonders whether Bloch murdered Thalia, but is forced to realize that her obsession with Bloch has hidden the actual suspect in plain sight. Alder, Geoff, and Bodie discuss possible scenarios centered on Robbie, noting that pictures of the mattress party don’t exist until Robbie appears. Bodie grapples with her doubt, confessing that it took a long time for her to realize that Omar hadn’t killed Thalia. Now, she admits she was blinded to the real killer again, simply because Bloch had preyed on Thalia and Robbie seemed nice.
