Ken calls Michael on a disposable phone to tell him that he’s about to leave the hospital and Mac might not make it. As they talk, they reveal that Michael has managed to double the 10 million dollars he stole and has been giving Ken some of it to care for his wife, who is in a home for dementia patients. The conversation confirms that someone from the O’Leary operation saw the viral video of Alison confronting the bullies and recognized her. Ken also warns Michael that Peter Jones called him to say he may have been recognized. Ken and Michael spared his life on the night of Alison’s abduction because they recognized that the O’Learys had manipulated Peter into carrying out their orders. They had cut off his pinky fingers because of his gambling debts and then forced to him to participate in the kidnapping as a condition to clear his debt. Ken warned Peter that night that the failed abduction meant the O’Learys would assume he had double-crossed them.
Poppy sorts through the notes Alison gave Dash. For Alison’s book cipher, she used The Little Prince, a modern French fable about a pilot’s encounter with and a mysterious traveler.
