Karen Falasca: 我记得Denise的葬礼有很多不认识的人，还有侦探和记者。Denise的穿着打扮与她生前习惯不同，她的脸上还有淤青。我看到Denise的前男友Max也在那里，他的行为举止很奇怪。在Denise遇害前的一周，家里举办了一个派对，Max没有离开。7月4日，Denise和Max发生了激烈的争吵。在Denise被杀害的晚上，她和Max又发生了电话争吵，之后她说要去做一些事情，我怀疑她要去见Max。在等公共汽车时，我看到一辆蓝色轿车多次经过，然后朝Denise离开的方向驶去。第二天，Denise的尸体被发现。警察审问了我，但我因为年纪小，记不清细节。回家后，我看到Max在我家，他的手上有一个很深的伤口。几天后，Max带我去一个地方，强吻了我。我认为Max杀害了Denise。 Anthony Scalia: 本集讲述了Denise Velasco的谋杀案，以及Karen Falasca对案件的回忆。Karen的回忆中，Denise的前男友Max是主要嫌疑人。Karen回忆了Denise遇害前一周发生的一些奇怪的事情，以及Max在案发前后的一些可疑行为。通过对报纸资料的调查，Anthony证实了Karen部分回忆的真实性，并发现Bergen County发生过其他类似的谋杀案，这暗示可能存在一个系列杀手。
