Amanda breaks into Quinn’s house to try to discover his connection to Naomi. His large, well-furnished house and the lack of schoolwork convinces her that Quinn is not a teacher. She finds a locked box in his upstairs bedroom, but before she can open it, she hears a noise downstairs and is forced to hide under the bed.
Farrow and Hernandez enter Quinn’s home to search for clues. Hernandez is reluctant to take over the case, but Farrow is certain it was not a domestic dispute as other investigators believe. Farrow reveals that Quinn has no known family and is a wealthy self-employed consultant, but that they have no other clues about his life.
Amanda recognizes Farrow’s voice and panics, knowing that he is likely there to investigate the crime scene. As she hides under the bed, her injured knee begins to ache painfully. She overhears Hernandez commenting on Quinn’s collection of heavy-duty sleeping pills. Farrow seems to find the space where the lockbox was and moves to look under the bed.
