Jade goes to Hardy’s office to begin her community service early, hoping to gather clues about the recent murder. Meg Koenig, Tiffany’s mother and Hardy’s secretary, puts her to work stuffing envelopes. However, Jade manages to sneak over to Meg’s computer when she is out of the room and steal an audio recording. She pretends that she was only there to send an email to her history teacher when Meg returns. As she leaves the sheriff’s office, she notices two local teenagers with guns heading toward the old national forest, looking like they plan to go hunting for bears.
Jade plays the recording and learns that the murdered Founder was Deacon Samuels. Hardy had previously caught him out at Camp Blood hitting flaming golf balls into the lake, using a gasoline dipped club. Hardy let him off with a warning because of how beautiful the lights were (implying that these were the strange lights seen by Lotte and Sven). Hardy explains to Meg that Letha Mondragon found Samuels’s body beside his gasoline bucket and golf club, torn to pieces. They found bear tracks and suspect that a grizzly smelled some pastries he had with him and attacked.
