While Virginia investigates, her colleagues are facing cutbacks, her father is in the hospital, her ex-boyfriend is running the investigation, and her news anchor is declaring his love for her. But despite all that, she keeps her focus on Evie. Why did she disappear? How did she disappear? And can Virginia find her without disappearing herself?
