Brennan discovers Dakota won’t be at the radio station for the truck delivery, having arranged for Daniel to go in her place. Knowing this will mess with the sting operation, he contacts Greta. He tells Matt that although Greta wants to nail Dakota, intercepting the truck is more important to her. Matt’s concerned about Daniel playing the pawn but it’s out of Brennan’s hands.

Brennan’s still on the hunt for Dakota, and reminds Paul that he’s obliged to notify the police if he should hear from her. A heartbroken Paul, however, insists that Dakota’s long gone.

After a night with all the creature comforts, Amber is tempted, and breaks the news to Daniel that she wants to move home for good.

Matt eventually admits to reading Lauren’s journal and, angry and upset, she considers burning it.
