Katie wakes up in bed next to Rob. She tells him that she has an audition and as he starts to kiss her, she reminds him that Roland is sleeping in the bed next to them. She goes to her audition and then goes back to her apartment to pack to travel to Upstate New York and Rob asks her a bunch of questions about the job and Mr. Murray. Before leaving, she asks Rob if she gave him the phone number of where she is going to be staying. As Katie gets into Murray's car, Rob takes a photo of Murray. Later, Rob calls the number Katie left him, but it doesn't work. He calls the operator who tells him that there is no area code with that number. Katie calls Rob and gives him some details on where she might be and tells him that someone cut off her finger. Rob and Roland drive to try and find Katie. Rob and Roland go to a gas station and are given a bag of goldfish by Gas Jock and Rob remembers what Katie told him about the goldfish. He goes to the police station and Rob shows Officer Mullavy the photos he took when Katie left and he mentions how she said they cut off her finger. He goes to Dr. Joseph Lewis' mansion and opens the attic door and Rob walks up to Katie who is in shock. Rob and Katie get into Mullavy and Officer Huntley's police car and they leave.
