Mother Daughter Murder Night

Lana decides to switch her focus from finding the murderer to finding evidence because she wants Ramirez to get the credit for solving the case. She knows that she, however, is the most qualified person to understand the relevant real estate documents. She thinks that the Rhoads property, which lies between the land trust and public property, is key, but she does not yet know why. When Jack is hesitant about Diana, Lana tells her that powerful women are usually complex, and she likes Diana. Lana thinks Victor may have killed Cruz and that Mr. Rhoads death is not connected.

Lana gets a call from Jack’s school saying that Jack is not there. She contacts Beth, and the two panic about what could have happened to her.

Lana plans to look on the docks while Beth searches the Kayak Shack. At the docks, Lana sees Paul “with a cooler, a shovel, and an enormous black duffel bag” (206). Paul tells Lana that he will help her look for Jack, and he calls Scotty to come get the cooler. They meet at Dock L, where Paul’s motorboat is tethered.
