Alone in the diner Jen hears a noise - she puts her hand on the baseball bat laying on he counter to use for protection when another hand covers her - it is Cristian. She had thought it might be Colin's, as he has supposedly been seen around Llanview.
Jessica decides to go to the gravesite and look for her lost charm by herself after getting into an argument about Cristian with Jen. When Jessica gets to the gravesite area, she is frightened by a noise and it is Bo. He asks Jessica what she is doing there and she tells him she was looking for a charm with her initial she thought she lost during the party the night of Colin's disappearance. Bo then helps Jessica look for the charm over her protests; Jessica pretends she finds the charm. Bo asks to see it and she refuses to show it to him, knowing she did not find it. She keeps nervously making conversation and tries to get Bo to leave the site where Colin was last seen when Jen, Cristian, Will and Jessica buried him.
Bo finds the charm, does not tell Jessica immediately and presses Jessica to tell the truth about the charm and why she is there. Jessica will not tell Bo she is there for fear the charm would point suspicion to her about Colin's body. Bo spots some loose leaves and further questions Jessica about the night of Colin's disappearance; Jessica reveals nothing, but remains nervous, which makes Bo wonder even more about her involvement. Bo persists he is going to investigate the surrounding area and calls the forensic team to come immediately and dig in the area. Jess becomes increasingly nervous and Bo is more suspicious than ever. Later Cristian and Jen show up after Jen had told Cristian that Jessica had left the diner to go to the gravesite and look for her charm. Cristian offers to leave and take Jen and Jessica home. Bo asks them not to leave. The forensic team arrives and Jessica, Cristian and Jen are asked by Bo if they have anything to say before the digging begins. They remain silent.
Todd frightens Melanie by entering through the glass doors unexpectedly. Melanie threatens Todd with a weapon and tries to make him leave. Todd tells Melanie he wants her to get the evidence from Bo that points the blame to Blair for Max's shooting (Blair's stained clothes) that could ultimately send her to jail. Todd threatens Melanie that Lindsay says she has a secret and he implies he knows what it is. Melanie does not give in to Todd's bluff and refuses to say she will get Blair's evidence from Bo. Todd softens a bit and leaves.
Roseanne is at the dock and becomes frightened by a noise. It is Sophia. Sophia and Roseanne get into a heated argument about Sophia's suspicions; Sophia is accusing Roseanne of involvement with R.J.

Kelly protests she should not arrest Roseanne.
Will and his Mom get into a discussion and Lindsay questions Will about his troubles. He denies he is in trouble or has problems. He also denies having information or being involved with Colin. Antonio shows up and Will, Lindsay and Antonio get into an argument about Colin's disappearance. Lindsay angers Antonio and Antonio states there is an ongoing investigation about R.J. and possibly anyone who might be involved with him. Any involvement with R.J. could lead to trouble, he says, which made Lindsay very nervous. Lindsay knows she has a connection with R.J., having gotten the drug from R.J. to use on Nora. Will and Lindsay both get nervous when Antonio receives a call that Bo has asked for a forensics team to dig around Colin's house.
In the area of Colin's house, the forensics team begins to dig up the area Colin was when Jessica, Will, Cristian and Jen covered up his body.
In Gina's basement, Viki dreams that Ben rushes in and saves her. He tells her he has figured out Gina and that Jessica is safe. Unfortunately, Gina shakes Viki and she realizes she is still trapped. Gina taunts her and orders her to make another call to Ben. At the same time, upstairs Jackie informs Ben that Viki hasn't been in Wilmington at all. Ben is determined to find his wife, but Gina rushes in to stop him. She claims his life would be in danger if he left her house. Jackie agrees, and promises to find out where Viki really is. Just then the phone rings. When Ben answers, Viki lies that she hasn't been where she said she was because she had to get away from him.
Roseanne ponders what to do with the information she overheard. Desperate, she sees ratting out Cris as her opportunity to quit working for R.J. She approaches R.J. with a deal: she will give him extremely valuable information, in return for her freedom. However, R.J. is determined to keep her on board for one last heist and refuses the deal. Roseanne leaves him with a warning, "you may find out, R.J., that you aren't really the one in charge after all!"
Jessica looks troubled as Bo's team starts digging up Colin's grave. Bo repeatedly asks Jess, Jen and Cris if they have anything they want to say. Just as Will, Lindsay and Antonio arrive, Jess tells her uncle to stop the digging. Reluctantly, Jess recalls how she and Will were fighting and she ran off alone in the woods the night of the party. She says she saw a hand and when she looked closer she saw Colin's face. Jess goes on to lie that she didn't tell anyone about what she had found and covered him back up all by herself. When Bo questions why she didn't mention this, Jess replies that it was too horrible and she didn't want to think about it.
Kelly arrives on the scene looking for a scoop, but Bo has her removed by Antonio. Antonio takes her into a nearby woodshed to guard her. When they get locked in together, Kelly takes the opportunity to grill him about his feelings for Sophia versus Roseanne.
Back at Colin's gravesite, the forensics teams finds a scarecrow with a pumpkin head in the place of Colin's body. Lindsay laughs out loud. Bo tries to question her, but she just leaves. The teen secretly look at each other confused. Will and Cris pipe up that the scarecrow must have really been what Jessica had seen that night because other kids where telling ghost stories that night. Jess lamely agrees that she must not have seen Colin. The teens are free to go, but Bo knows that they saw Colin's body buried there... Meanwhile, Colin's dead body is being packed into a crate!

Jen decides to leave and Cris follows behind. Will is so angry he could kill Cris, he declares to the horror of Jess, but then admits he's not serious and does believe that Jess did what she had to. This leads Jess to believe that if Will didn't commit the crime then Lindsay did. She didn't deny her involvement with Nora's kidnapping and certainly had a motive, though it could have been an accident, she tells Will. She begins to wonder again about Will's facial bruises and if they were actually obtained helping his mother out. Will becomes infuriated and tells Jess he refuses to speak to her anymore since she's now pushed him too far.
