On Olivia’s first day at Fred Meyer, Duncan knocks down a display of apples behind her. He says he’s been thinking about what she said, and he wants to help her. They arrange to meet at her car after work. He apologizes and says once he thought about it more, he realized that exposing her identity could endanger her. She is attracted to him and his proximity flusters her. He insists on helping her solve the murders and she finally agrees after Duncan points out that he’s better known and trusted in the community.

On the way back to Olivia’s house, she and Duncan discuss what she does and does not remember. Duncan says maybe she’s retaining everything that happened somewhere in her mind. He suggests hypnosis as a method to retrieve the memories. Olivia is dismissive of the idea. She shows Duncan the cigar box, and he notices that she stole a photo of her dad from the service—he disapproves of this but doesn’t say anything. Olivia tells him her theory that Jason or Sam killed her parents. Duncan doesn’t believe this, but he does show her printouts of similar unsolved murders in the area.
