A Latino woman in the driver's seat of a car, Ria, mentions they were hit from behind and spun around. She gets out of the car and goes to the cop and the other driver, an Asian woman. The two ladies blame each other for the mishap and make racial jibes. The Latina identifies herself as a detective.

Waters gets out walks toward more police cars and a crime scene. Another cop mentions they have a body. Waters looks at something.

At the Cabots' house Jean is still upset, and even though a locksmith is already changing the door locks, she wants it done again the next day. Jean loudly claims the locksmith will sell the keys and they will be robbed again. The locksmith, Daniel, overhears and leaves two sets of keys on the kitchen counter as he leaves.
