Mr. Stiles tells him that he never looked inside and he only knows that it was a newspaper article inside. Jack asks who was in the article, was it him? Mr. Stiles says no. Carly asks if it was her? Stiles says no. Mr. Stiles tells Jack that all he knows is the picture was of two people and he has a number to call and get a copy of the article. The article covers some high society event in New York. He writes it down for Jack and then he leaves. Jack asks Carly why it would be of his interest to get an article of someone that he doesn't know. Carly reminds Jack that Mr. Stiles didn't say that Jack didn't know the person in the picture. She tells Jack not to get mad, but doesn't Julia go to some events in New York? Jack says that he will have to call and get a copy and put this mystery to rest. Carly tells him to let her know when he gets the article. She suggests that they meet the next evening at the boathouse. Jack tells her no.
