She says she saw Freddy burning something with a lighter that she's never seen before. Connie recommends she just confront Freddy with the suspicion.JJ goes to Freddy's work (JJ's Flowers) and has a peek at Freddy's phone before he comes out from the back room. JJ tells Freddy that she saw him arguing with a woman. Freddy claims that it was a disgruntled customer who was angry over her order, and that he just went to the park for a few minutes to himself.That night, Freddy is talking in his sleep again, and JJ can't make out what he's saying. While he sleeps, she searches his pocket and finds the lighter he used to burn the paper / photo. It has CCCP on the front.The next morning, JJ is n the bathroom throwing up, when Freddy finds his lighter missing.

Freddy brushes it off.Freddy arrives at the flower shop and puts up a "back in 30 minutes" sign. He prepares a flower order and goes out to deliver it. He delivers the flowers to Arthur Stern's (Joe Cobden) office reception. Arthur meets Freddy in a park, says he got his "summons". Arthur is drunk and disheveled, and tells Freddy he regrets knowing him, that his wife has left him. Freddy tells him to take some responsibility for his life. Freddy gives Arthur a flash drive, but Arthur throws it away, and says he will be resigning tomorrow. He threatens to go to the FBI, but Freddy tells him he's already in too deep. Arthur says he won't let Freddy ruin his life anymore, and he leaves.JJ arrives home to find someone broke into the house. She calls Freddy, and tells him she's going to call 911, but he insists she get out of the house and wait for him to get home. As Freddy parks across the street from the house and is crosses the street, he's hit by a Jaguar driven by Arthur. Arthur drives away quickly as JJ calls 911 to get an ambulance.Connie meets JJ at the hospital, and JJ tells her about the accident and the break in. The doctor (Daniel Brochu) tells her that Freddy has two bruised ribs and a concussion which is causing swelling on the brain. He's still unconscious, but the doctor thinks he should be OK in a day or two. JJ calls and leaves a voice mail for Freddy's mother, Barbara (Barbara Gordon), who lives in San Diego and who she has only met twice. JJ stays with Freddy while Connie leaves for the evening.The next morning, Detective Brent (Mark Camacho) comes to talk to JJ at the hospital. They go for a walk and a coffee, and she tells the detective that the driver stopped, looked back at her, then drove away. She gives the detective a description of the driver.

She tries to chase her but misses her. She finds Barbara in the lobby, who apparently was visiting friends in Washington DC when JJ called her. Barbara is reluctant to hold Freddy's hand. JJ questions the nurse (Lisa Bronwyn Moore) who the woman was (Anna) that was in Freddy's room, but she doesn't know. Barbara offers to sit with Freddy so that JJ can go home and take a shower.At home, JJ starts straightening up the house from the break in. She looks out back and notices the door to the shed is open and can see someone moving around. She takes a poker and goes outside. It's Barbara, who says that Freddy told her that there was an old box of photos in the shed, but leaves when JJ finds her, and says she'll ask Freddy about the box when he wakes up.Back in the house, JJ is trying to find something to eat for her and Barbara. Connie arrives with take out Italian food. Connie asks Barbara where she's from, and Barbara accuses her of being nosy. She says she's from San Diego and lives alone since her husband died. Barbara says she's tired and retires for the night. JJ and Connie chat, and say that Barbara is a strange bird, that Freddy said her dad was in Portland, that they didn't have friends in DC. JJ announces to Connie that she's pregnant. But she expresses her fears that Freddy is having an affair. Connie tells her not to worry and is sworn to secrecy until JJ can tell Freddy.When JJ goes upstairs, she finds Barbara is not in her room, and finds her outside in the shed again. Through a window, she sees Barbara trying to open a safe in the shed (which was hidden by a box), but then she leaves. JJ goes in and tries to open the safe herself but can't get the combination right.The next morning, Barbara's bed hasn't been slept in, and she's not around. JJ goes to an ATM and tries to withdraw money, but her account says that there are no funds available. JJ drives to the flower store while talking to the bank. They tell her that the accounts were cancelled, but she says that's impossible, because he's been in a coma since the night before. AT the flower store, she goes into the cash box and takes some money for expenses. She notices a light is on in the basement of the store and goes downstairs. She finds an area hidden behind a pile of boxes with an office. On the desk are some electronics, including recording devices, burner cell phones, and a gun is in the drawer. She opens a folder that has a picture of Arthur in it. She takes the folder and leaves.Arriving at the hospital, she finds Barbara at Freddy's bedside. The doctor comes in to tell her that the brain swelling has gone down, and that Freddy should wake up any time. JJ tells Barbara that she saw her in the shed during the night and about the safe.

Arthur finally answers and she asks why he tried to kill her husband. Arthur says she doesn't have any idea who it is, how does a florist have a file on him.
