Local Woman Missing

One Thursday evening, Meredith takes Josh out for dinner, planning to tell him about Marty and the malpractice suit. As they drink, dance, and flirt, Meredith recalls meeting Josh years ago; he was the first person on the scene after she was in a car accident.

Kate and Bea appear at a nearby table, celebrating Bea's 30th birthday. Joining together, the four of them eat and dance. When Kate and Josh suggest it’s time to leave, Meredith offers to stay with Bea, who is enjoying herself. A while later, both of them drunk, Meredith and Bea leave in Bea’s car.

A paternity test reveals Jason is not the father of Shelby’s baby.

A few days later, Meredith’s car is found at a hotel in a nearby town. Kate and Bea drive Josh to the hotel, where they learn that Meredith checked in on the day of her disappearance. An officer emerges from the hotel and tells Josh that Meredith was found dead inside. Josh screams, “Noooooo!” and “Why?”

Meredith and Bea laugh and sing on their way home. Bea, who is driving, runs over a woman, and Meredith is horrified to recognize Shelby.
