When Trixie was no where to be found, Daniel immediately called Laura at the office. The two searched all over town until finally they found Trixie staring at her reflection at the town's bank. Meanwhile, Jason had ran far away to a bridge overlooking the main river in Bethel, Maine. He stared down at the water, wondering if it had frozen over all the way. His whole life had turned around in such short notice, going from all star hockey player with a major career ahead of him, to being put on trial for rape. The next morning news spread fast through town that Jason Underhill had committed suicide.
Everyone in Bethel was mourning over the death of Jason Underhill. The town thankfully acknowledged the athlete's accomplishments, but the family and Trixie especially were devestated; Trixie turned to a razor to let out her emotions, and Jason's mother couldn't seem to get out of bed. Despite this, work in the morgue had discovered things on Jason's body that didn't connect to a suicide. Dectective Bartholemew worked extensively with Anjali, a doctor working on Jason's case. She uncovered things such as bruising on the face in areas not likely to have been hit by the fall, and discoloring in the stomach, suggesting a fight had taken place moments before the so called "suicide." Bartholemew took this evidence to his advantage and went to question Daniel himself. Although Trixie didn't have much to worry about anymore dealing with the rape incident, Daniel was in for a whole new treat.
