Melanie wakes up to find another anonymous note slipped under her door. She sees another on her pillow, one on her table and another at the end of her bed. She wakes up to find she's been dreaming and gets the door. It's Hope, who tells her to get dressed and meet her downstairs. An anonymous caller says the same words that he or she wrote on the note. "I saw you in the cemetery. I know what happened." Melanie wonders if Bo and Hope know! She packs up and leaves.

Downstairs at the pub, Hope returns and feels bad for Max, who isn't defending what Melanie did, but he says he's still worried about her. He can't help it. Bo understands this.

Just to get him there, they practically had to drag him, kicking and screaming into car. Evan excuses himself to allow them privacy and Abe tells Lexi that she's the one who said they'd fight this thing together. He wonders what's going on. She runs hot and cold. Lexi worries about how Theo will react to being photographed. She wonders if Theo will be wondering if people are staring at him, wondering how the Carver's little Autistic boy is doing. Abe says this article that they're doing on him and the photos will help him win the election. They discuss things and argue and Evan returns to tell them what is expected of them. Meanwhile, Theo goes to another table and takes a coffee from the table, dropping it on the floor. He screams when a lady asks what he's doing, bringing Lexi, Abe and Evan to his side. The patron is upset with Lexi and asks if she could take care of her son. Lexi goes off on her and the lady realizes that Abe's running for mayor. She knows Theo's autistic. Evan, the manager, takes the woman aside and gives her free coffee, while Lexi makes more of an issue of it than it is, according to Abe, and packs up Theo for home.

The lawyer says Trent had his hand in Nick's prototype, but that's about all. Max is given a red box, so Bo takes it for his brother and leaves. Mr. Berman reveals to Melanie that there was an envelope to be read in the event of his death. He isn't sure he can give it to her as her name is not on it. Apparently, Melanie has known him for a while and talks him into letting her see it and says he's counting on her to share it with the police after she reads it. She tears it open but is interrupted by Bo and Hope, who ask for the letter! They want to know what's in it.

Kate goes into the hospital for chemotherapy and Dr. Knapp tells her what to expect. Lucas and Philip think they can play the game Boggle, and they all laugh. They used to have matches all the time.

The men reluctantly leave, but before Lucas does, he admits he'd rather stay there with her. Kate asks him to talk to Tony and Anna about the new ad campaign. He asks for a rain check on Boggle, and leaves.
