Her last gig was working as a

a coworker unprovoked

Manager called the police.

Unprovoked? That seems
very unlike Aisha.

Wouldn't be a first.

Aisha avoided jail time, but was
assigned anger management

Aisha fought with on the right.

Well, clearly, they're still
friends after the altercation.

So Aisha had friends, but no

That's why I recognized all this stuff.

They're costumes from the
other characters in the book.

And the best friends

are Nova and Estrella.

So Aisha is blending
fantasy and reality.

But the question is, what is
fantasy and what is reality?

And are Nova and Estrella even real?

They are until they aren't.

described her kidnapper.

She thinks she might remember
where she was taken.

She was at some party.

It was their first time
hanging with Estrella.

Up until then, they were
just online friends.

They were snatched together.

Did she give you any
detail about the party?

- A location, vague description?
- No,

but she did say Estrella barely
had any family or friends, either.

And that they looked like
they could be sisters.

Okay, so we're looking for similar
facial traits, perhaps, skin tone.

it means "celestial."

I'm so sorry. I was with my dad.

We spent the best day at the park.

We're going to dinner tonight.

Thank you for everything this year.

I'll see you in the fall.
