Chapter Summaries & Analyses
The night of Halloween, Simon walks slowly through Grace Village dressed in a suit with a Barack Obama mask. He sees Christian in costume from a distance. He lingers in the area until he sees Christian leaving and knows that he has done the crime.
Simon remembers confronting Lauren after he found her with his father. She laughed at him and told him what happened between them was just a fling, and that he needed to mind his own business. It was the last time he saw her for 19 years and the last time he ever spoke to her. He thought his father broke things off, but he later found a champagne bottle and two glasses at the house and realized that his father was not going to change his ways. He agreed to keep the secret from his mother but then felt guilty when Lauren stole all the family’s money.
Jane contacts a friend at the FBI, who helps her find CSLI or cell phone data. She tells her the burner phones were only used in three places—Lauren’s house, the Chicago Trust & Title Building, and a corner in the Wicker Park area. Afterward, Jane tells Andy that she feels like the CSLI data is too convenient.
