I can feel it.

Something bad has
happened to her.

And I don't want you saying--
- You're overreacting, Amy.

That.

I've left five messages,
gobs of texts.

No word from the
woman who usually

calls us back in five minutes.
- I'm with you, Ame.

It's weird.
I texted her, too.

They're all unread.
But maybe she's just busy.

Or maybe her phone is broken.

Simplest explanation.
- There you go.

I think we just need
to take a breath.

You take a breath, Loge.

Should we, like,
call her friends?

Maybe check local hospitals?

Why don't you just file
a missing persons report

while you're at it?
[Brooke and Troy chuckle]

Oh, my God.

You already did.

You're already Amy-ing this up.

OK.

According to the sheriff's
office, she's an adult.

No law against going off
on her own, yada, yada.

So you know, they'd need
more concrete info

before saying
she's officially missing.

But, um...

we all know if she's not
returning our calls or texts,

it's because she can't.

Or because
she doesn't want to.

Why wouldn't she want to?

Because we've all kind of
been assholes lately.

Not just lately.

For months.

All right.

Maybe talk to Dad.
What about him?

Yeah, I was supposed to help
with the lawn yesterday,

but he called and said
his knee felt better,

so he was just going
to do it himself.

- Did you ask about Mom?
- Yeah.

He said she was out
running errands

and didn't know
when she'd be back.

It sounded fine to me.
- This is ridiculous.

Just call him right now.

You call him.
He actually likes you.

All right, let's get
to the bottom of this.

Great.

[line ringing on speakerphone]

- Hey, honey.
- Hey, Dad.

Listen, I've been trying
to get a hold of Mom.

Is she there?
Can you put her on?

Uh, sorry,
she's at the mall again.


Well, she isn't returning
calls or texts

or anything, and--

Well, maybe her phone's
on the fritz.


I'm sure it's nothing, Brooke.

Listen, I--I got to run.

It's court time with Higgins.
Love you.


Love you, too, Dad.
[line beeps]

Is he lying?

Stop it.

Why would he lie?

What's going on, Brooke?

Uh, Indira's got this,
uh, work thing,

and I'm going as arm candy.

Anyway, I'll talk to you later.

She sends her love, OK?

Hello.

Sorry, I didn't mean
to scare you.

[chuckles]
Who are you?

I'm Savannah.

- Savannah--
- Pagonis.

Who are you?

Oh, wait, don't tell me.

You must be Logan.

Yeah, your mom
described you perfectly.

Where are my parents?

Your dad had to pick up
some prescription sunglasses.

Yeah, your mom went with.

They should be back soon, though.

- Were you a student of theirs?
- Me?

A tennis student?

[chuckling]
No, no, no.

No, I'm not sporty at all.

I'm just staying with them
for a few days

until I can get
some things sorted out.

Uh-huh.

Those things have anything
to do with that thing?

Yeah, my boyfriend and I
got in a fight.

Oh.
Oh, God.

It was a crazy night,
long story.

But if I had to pick
a door to knock on,

I'm glad it was theirs.

A lot to unpack
in that sentence.

Tell me about it.

Are you married?
- No.

You have someone,
though, right?

Your mom talked about--
- Indira.

Yeah.
- Right.

She sounds great.
- Yeah.

Everyone says they want
a doctor in the family,

but I think having someone
in the geosciences around

is way more interesting.

Don't you?

- Is that--
- Amy's, yeah.

Just until I can
pick up my stuff.

- We're back.
- Hello.

We're never taking I-95 again.

Oh, hi!
- Hi.

So what do you think
of these?

I wanted to look sharp, but not
like some South Beach assh*le.

Those are great on you.

Very Tom Cruise.
[laughs]

What are you doing up there?

- Gutters.
- Oh!

Remember?

Right!

Right.

So you met Savannah.

I did.

[dog barking]

So any chance you can
join us for dinner?

No.

I--I just left you a message.

Yeah.
Figured you'd be busy.

Come on.

Make sure you get
the downspouts, OK?

Because they get
jammed with leaves.

Listen,
I've been thinking about

what we talked about, you know,

your business, your family,
all that.

And I think I can help.

What do you mean?

I mean, I think
we should sit down

and have a real talk about how
I can pitch in financially.

You know, take some
of the pressure off.

- Are you serious?
- Yeah.

The restaurant's fine,
and I got that money

from my grandpa
that's just sitting there.

- No, no, no, that's yours.
- I know.

And I also know that

a little help
can make all the difference.

Thank you.

I don't even know what to say.

Oh, you don't need to
say anything right now.

We can just keep
talking about it.

Mm.

There's one more thing
I want to do for you.

I want to put fresh rosemary
on the sunchokes.

Hey, Loge.

- Is this a bad time?
- No.

Have you talked
to Mom and Dad?


No.

There's a weird woman
living at their house.


What weird woman?

Mr. Delaney?

Can I help you?

Detective Elena Camacho.
This is my partner.

Detective Ethan Remy

from the Palm Beach County
Sheriff's Office.

There's been
a missing persons report

filed on your wife, Joy.

We're going to need to
ask you a few questions.

So you can corroborate
what was reported to us,

that your wife has been gone
for four days?

Someone reported that? Who?

Yeah. Uh, four days.

That's--that's right.

Has she not been in touch?

No, and she left that behind,
which is weird,

because it's usually
glued to her hand.

You know why
she would have left it?

She didn't want
to talk to me.

Uh, she went on
a silent retreat.

She forgot that.

All of the above.

All right.
Tough crowd.

It was also reported
she left after a fight,

but didn't tell you
where she was going.

Do you think that's weird, too?

Not for me and Joy.

But I guess
what's important here

is how bad it seems to you.

Listen, if I thought for one
second that she was in danger,

I would have contacted you
myself, but she is not.

She'll be back.

She will come back.

You know when?

When she forgives me.

You didn't see

To you,
he's just some nice guy

who's passionate
about f*cking tennis.

Shh!

Sorry.

I think Troy makes
some good points.

And I think you guys are
jumping to crazy conclusions,

and it's really unfair to Dad.

OK, also a good point.

[phone buzzing]

It's him again.
I have to answer.

Um, I--

I have a confession.

Um, she called me
the day she disappeared.

And I didn't pick up.

I was busy,
and I just ignored her.

I don't--you know,
maybe she needed help, and I--

I f*cked up.
I'm sorry.

She called me, too, that day.

Uh--
[clears throat] Same.

Yeah. Me, too.

f*ck.
