Part 2, Chapter 33 Summary: “Nate: Tuesday, July 21”

Addy, Bronwyn, and Cooper are visiting Nate at work, celebrating the news about the money he will soon be getting from his dad. Nate tells everyone he cleaned out his closet and found an old burner phone. Addy asks to keep it, claiming she might use it as a prop at their next birthday party. They talk for a few minutes about pictures Bronwyn hopes to get soon of Chelsea Alton, then the bar gets busy, and Bronwyn and Cooper leave. Nate mentions to Addy that he was supposed to meet Phoebe earlier in the day, but she didn’t show up. Addy wants to check on Phoebe, but she doesn’t have her car. Nate asks Gavin to give her a ride.

Katherine Riordan sits at the bar and expresses that if the Bayview Crew is looking for Jake, then he might survive whatever has happened to him. Nate asks Katherine about Alexander, but before she can say anything, Scott arrives and tells her it’s time to leave. Nate asks who she thinks killed Alexander, and Katherine glances at Scott but doesn’t say anything. Bronwyn sends a text to Nate with a yearbook picture of Chelsea Alton. The picture is Evie from Café Contigo.
