The Likeness

Cassie wants to interview Justin alone, but every time she tries, she notices another roommate joins them. It is as if they know Justin is the most likely to say too much. She finally gets her chance one day at Trinity. Cassie tells Justin she is thinking about contacting her parents to tell them about the accident, and Justin reacts strongly reminding her of the “no pasts” rule. She continues to push him, and he ends up telling her about the Christmas he went home to come out to his family. They completely rejected him, and his stepmother was particularly cruel. Justin says each roommate has their individual reasons for the rule: Daniel’s parents are dead, Rafe’s father thinks he is a failure, and Abby’s mother is an addict. If she is going to contact her parents, she should not tell the others because they love and trust Lexie so it will hurt their feelings.

Frank thinks the discovery of the “no pasts” rule is not much of a lead. He is frustrated with the lack of information about Lexie after she shed the identity of May-Ruth. Cassie tells him to check airports and realizes the letters in the journal are airport codes where she was pricing flights that mark Lexie’s plans to run away after discovering her pregnancy.
