Despite Plank's skepticism about Xander being alive and his suggestion to leave the past behind, Greg voices his suspicion over Xander's potential involvement with the murder of Tom.

Ondanks sy teleurstelling boe Plank se antwoorde, ontvang Greg 'n raaiselagtige boodskap op sy selfoon die volgende oggend van 'n onbekende nommer, wat hom nooi na 'n afspraak by die inligtingsentrum van die universiteit.
