Jason and Lucinda confront Dom about Allison’s funeral. Dom apologizes for not letting them know earlier but claims that it is because his focus is on their safety. Lucinda doubts that their lives are in as much danger as Dom claims, so Dom shows them a video of their house that was taken only eight minutes after they left. The video shows a car cruising slowly past the house and then circling back every 10 minutes for a few hours. According to Dom, the FBI determined that the car belongs to someone in the GVO organization. Jason takes a photo of the video with his phone. Dom asks him to delete the photo because showing them the video was against FBI protocol, but Jason refuses.
In bed that night, Jason notices Lucinda on Next Door, a social media service that does not show whether a user is active. She reads that Allison’s friends have been texting her and their moms have been calling other moms. Lucinda desperately wants to let her closest friend, Melissa, know what has happened.
On TV, a news program reports that a strip mall is on fire, and they recognize Jason’s office. The fire started at night, and nobody was hurt, but Jason worries about his employees and whether they will be able to collect severance.
