## Plot

After been found at the crime scene, Markus and Poppy are taken to the police station. The officers tell them they are interfering with their work. Detective Aames takes the heat off them. Poppy then tells Aames that they found medication at the crime scene that is anti-psychotic. Thus, they think Rose is in trouble and they need to find her. So, Poppy gets back on the podcast to discuss the homeless problem, with the steady increase of the “unhoused.” She then turns the conversation to Holt and Rose.

Meanwhile, Holt sneaks into Micah’s house in the middle of the night and snuggles her. However, Micah is worried about Rose and asks Holt to find her. The next day, Micah sends out Ivy to meet Holt, when she meets him, Holt is annoyed that Micah hasn’t shown up. Ivy tells Holt that the threat of Rose will always lean over Micah.

Markus and Poppy find Rose at the camp. Rose claims that Micah stole her life’s work and states that what Micah wrote in her book did not happen to her. She calls Micah a wild animal that is trapped.

But before the conversation can progress, the most absurd event happens. Holt sets off the alarm to cause panic, and then he openly shoots Rose in public then runs away. Markus finds Holt outside, and they fight. The police turn up, and Markus has to try and convince the officers that Holt is the shooter, but they end up shooting him due to racial profiling.

At the hospital, Markus’s wife is angry at Poppy for putting her husband in this situation and tells her to leave. A fretting Poppy has to stay at home, worrying about Markus. She’s so upset that she can’t attend mediation for the pending lawsuit against her.

Elsewhere, Micah asks Ivy what she said to Holt, as she’s confused as to why he would hurt her. They both conclude that all this happened because of Poppy.
