Jen heads back to work and talks with her colleague and friend Rakesh. She calls his friend, Professor Andy Vettese, an accomplished physics professor who has spent his career studying the relationship between memory and time. They meet for coffee. To convince a hesitant Vettese that she is in a time loop, Jen tells him he will win a prestigious research prize later that week (Jen learned this when Googling his name).
Convinced, Andy explains that theoretically she is stuck in a “closed time loop” (96), and that her subconscious may be directing her to land in days significant to what she missed. Andy tells her to pay attention. To validate her time travel, Andy cuts her finger with a knife.
Certain that Clio is the key, Jen goes to the building her uncle owns and tries to talk with Clio. Clio refuses to talk—she and Todd broke up and have only recently gotten back together. She offers no explanation. As Jen leaves the building, she notices a passing cop car driven, she is sure, by the cop who arrested Todd.
That night she decides to talk to Todd and tell him about the time loop and his killing of Jones.
