Around lunchtime, Karen arrives at Tom’s door, interrupting his work. She wants to explain that she didn’t mean to deceive him and that she intends to treat everything he said as off the record. She wants to be his friend, and although she suggests that it might be a good idea to speak to the press if the story gets out further about his involvement in the case, she doesn’t necessarily mean through her. She invites him out for a drink later, and he says that he wouldn’t be able to find a sitter. She gives him her card and tells him to text her so that she has his number, but after she leaves, he realizes that he might have a sitter after all: Although the narrative doesn’t specify who that is, it implies that Tom reaches out to Pete to stay with Jake.
At the police department, Pete and Amanda comb through records, looking for information about what happened to Francis Carter after he and his mother received new identities. Francis was renamed David Parker, and they must look through the thousands of people who have that name. Amanda thinks about Pete’s state of mind, worried that he missed something that led to Tony Smith’s death and created this new situation.
