AJ reads Ricardo the riot act for holding Cole overnight on circumstantial evidence and warns him to expect a call from his attorney. Meanwhile, in jail, Cole remembers shooting Hillary and watching her turn into a mummy.
Olivia visits Cole and they talk about what happened to Hillary. Neither of them knows what to think and both wonder what could have happened to the body. Cole says he is glad that they don't have the body so he can't be convicted of shooting her. Olivia reminds him that they could convict him if someone told the police what they saw. He asks why she hasn't told anyone about the jewels or the shooting and is surprised to hear Olivia say that she wants to protect Caitlin. Olivia realizes that telling Caitlin or having him arrested would not just break them up, it would break Caitlin's heart.

Ricardo comes in and presses him for answers, saying that he may not have the evidence he needs yet, but he will get it.
