Jeanie didn’t want to tell Logan that someone had also been tipping over her flowerpots every night, not wanting to make another big deal out of nothing as she had done with the cat. Yet later that night, she awakes to the sound of breaking glass and sees a figure with a baseball bat fleeing into the alleyway. Certain the figure is a serial killer, she considers calling 911 and then Logan, but she fears she’s overreacting and that this is not what the “New Jeanie” would do. Instead, she texts Ben about her ordeal, who recommends that she call the police, but Jeanie still insists it was probably nothing and she doesn’t want to waste town resources. She ends up telling him about her kiss with Logan instead, and though she tries to fall asleep afterward, she is still awake when Logan sends a text to check in on her at five in the morning. When Jeanie texts back, she lies and says everything is okay.
Under duress, Logan attends his second town meeting in a row to talk about the Fall Festival. Jeanie, Annie, and Hazel arrive, and Hazel brings up the break-in at the café, startling Logan.
