Victoria asks David why he attempted to murder Roger
and shows him the bleeder valve. The little sociopath attacks her and she locks
it in a drawer. She tricks him into leaving her room. Roger confronts the
Sheriff; Victoria and David wait each other out on opposite sides of Victoria's
door. Roger continues to confront the Sheriff and implies that the Sheriff is
afraid of the now-rich Burke. He also implies he'll use the Collins influence
to take Carter's job. Roger wants a search of Burke's room; Carter says only a
psycho would keep the bleeder valve; David tries to run outside, telling
Elizabeth "he has to get away." He also accuses Victoria of trying to
hurt him. David says that Victoria is going to make up stories about him and
even says that Victoria will try to blame him for Roger's accident. David is
ejected from the room and tells Victoria Elizabeth won't believe her. Carter
has obtained his Search Warrant but hasn't finished his sandwich. Roger
attempts to join Carter on the search, and that's where Jonas finally draws the
line. David attempts to eavesdrop on Victoria and Elizabeth's conversation,
where she recounts the last few minutes of the previous episode. Victoria tells
her that she didn't try to hurt David, he tried to hurt her. Victoria tells Elizabeth
she was afraid of David. Elizabeth says Burke caused the accident, and doesn't
believe Victoria’s story of finding the bleeder valve.

missing. She states that the walls of Collinwood should be padded, not paneled.
They begin a search. Burke meets Mr. Bronson in Bangor because he doesn't want
Bronson near Collinsport. Bronson is apparently going to act as some sort of
cover operative for Burke and gives him the financial records from the past 5
years for the Collins Family. Carolyn heads toward her room; Victoria hears
something scurrying about in the West Wing and recounts an earlier experience
(14). Turns out Elizabeth was in the West Wing. Elizabeth interrogates Victoria
and explains away the earlier mysterious encounter. Turns out there are at
least two keys that could have opened the drawer. Carolyn finds David's
magazines with a well-worn page on disassembling brake cylinders. Burke wants
more shadow games from Bronson. Elizabeth can't convince Roger to come find
David, who's been missing for 45 minutes. Carolyn talks with Elizabeth and
storms off. Burke learns that his hotel room has been searched and a small boy
