Karen tells Julie about Serenaâs blindness and how she needs a cornea trans-
plant.  (I miss a few seconds of dialogue because of a weather warning.)
Karen scolds Chris about posting the Ellen/Matt pictures.  Julie gets snarky,
but is interrupted by the arrival of Garcia who is looking for Karen.  She
tells him her theory that Jake was taking their experimental drug.  Garcia
informs them that Jake was a murder victim, not a murderer.  They realize
that means the murderer is still out there - just then Frank walks up.  Heâs
looking for Lark.  He tells Alejandro about Larkâs death threat.  They leave.
The others talk about Jake - Eve comes up and they fill her in.

Ellen, Matt, and Lark are looking at the death threat.  Lark is terrified and
Ellen send her to splash cold water on her face to calm down.  Ellen realizes
that it could have been meant for Matt, since he and Lark have the same kind
of backpack.  Later, Garcia tells them about Jake and that they all need to
be careful.  He tracks the path of the backpack - Frankâs truck to Eve at the
nurses station to Julie to Lark.  Lark think Julie must have done it because
she hates her.  Matt and Ellen go get Julie and send her to the lounge.  Every
one leaves except Matt and Chris.  Matt accuses Chris of writing the note,
Chris vows retaliation for all his accusations.

Back at the lounge, Julie defends herself.  She points out that Lark could have
written the note herself for attention.  Julie leaves and goes out and yells at
Lark (yawn!)  Julie accuses Lark of being the murderer.

Meanwhile, Matt is talking to Garcia - Matt is accusing Chris of writing the
note.  Garcia returns to the lounge and asks Chris about the note.  Chris
thinks
Matt is paranoid - Garcia doesnât see that as always a bad thing.  Chris asks
if heâs being charged with anything.  Not for now, answers Garcia.

Eve looks in on Serena, Scott is in with her.  He leaves to yell at Eve about
staying away from his child. Scott goes back in to Serena with a bunch of
little toys for Serena.  Sheâs not completely distracted, she wants to know
when sheâll be able to see.  Gail arrives with some books to read to her.
Serena thinks sheâll be able to read them herself soon and asks Scott for
reassurance.  Scott gently explains that she needs new corneas.  Oddly, Gail
compares Serena to having a bunch of people there for her just like Humpty
Dumpty did.  Apparently, Gail has never read the end of the story - but Serena
has.    Scott tells her that her team is better than HDâs.  Outside, Gail and
Scott talk - he feels bad that Serena is trying to spare him pain.  Gail thinks
he should tell her itâs okay not to be brave.  Eve gives him the name of the
best eye doctor in the US - Scott has already called him.  He tears into her
again, and she apologizes profusely again - he doesnât soften.

Karen is scared that a psychopath is still roaming around.  Joe distracts her
with sweet talk.  Eve comes up to the floor - Chris sees sheâs upset.  He
tells her about Matt coming after him.  Garcia comes up and asks them if
theyâve seen the movie North by Northwest.  He shows them how you
can see what was written on a sheet of paper by shading the next sheet
(using the Suspect).  He did that to a page in Chrisâ notebook and came up
with the "You Die Next" message.  He folds the paper that says Suspect
and sticks it in Chrisâ pocket.  (Cliffhanger)
