Elsewhere, someone retreats into the woods armed with a flask, eventually being carried away. It's Monday, and Will and Angie have just acquired a dining room table, sparking visions in Will's mind of dinner parties filled with laughter or the table surrounded by joyful children. Their flirtatious conversation is interrupted by Faith, who bursts in with news of another grim discovery. Faith and Will rush out, with Will entrusting Betty to keep an eye on Angie.
A hiker stumbled upon the body hidden in the forest depths. Pete verifies that the victim has been deceased for a staggering four months, with a curious watermelon armadillo toy clenched between his jaws. Amanda is eager to crack the case before it elevates to the status of a local urban legend. Blake Turner, while not a registered sex offender, was known for his unsavory demeanor and penchant for teenage girls, as revealed by his roommate.
Jason Peters marks the third victim in this chilling saga. Each of them sported glasses, harbored a dark secret as pedophiles, suffered asphyxiation, and had a toy stuffed in their mouths. Pete further notes that Turner exhibited fractures to his fifth and sixth ribs. Michael ponders aloud if the perpetrator could be a burly individual, illustrating his point by giving Pete a playful but forceful bear hug from behind.
On Tuesday, Angie attempted to persuade Will to select a color for their table, yet his frustration over the ongoing case clouded his thoughts. As he caught sight of Betty frolicking with Angie, inspiration struck like lightning, and he dashed out of the house. Both Will and Mike experienced epiphanies; Will, in a fit of urgency, swept every dish from the table and instructed Mike to lie prone upon it. He then beckoned Caroline to sit atop Mike's chest, though Faith reassured her it wasn't necessary. Undeterred, Caroline insisted on lending a hand. Will illustrated his point by recounting how the female killer administered drugs to her victims, subsequently sitting astride them as they suffocated helplessly. He tasked Mike with discovering the significance of the red ticket, believing it held the key to uncovering the perpetrators' lair.
Luke abruptly stormed into Faith's office, brandishing information about a sex offender murder in Alabama in exchange for assistance. Mike, perched precariously on Franklin's desk, inquired about the red ticket. Another officer enlightened him, revealing it was linked to the Moon and Stars roller rink. They promptly set off in that direction, where the cashier, unaware of their specific victims, pointed out a perverted regular who often harassed her.
They cornered Connor Pierce in the restroom, but he vehemently denied ever preying on teenage girls. Their investigation took a curious turn when they spotted a poster for a dating site named "Meet a Peach" adorning the wall.
Meanwhile, Faith delved into the Alabama case, uncovering that a trucker had been shot with his own weapon for exploiting the wrong woman. The brutality of this crime suggested to Faith that it might have been the perpetrator's first kill.
On Wednesday, Will admired the newly colored table before being interrupted by a call from Mike. Connor Pierce was dead. Rocky informed Will and Faith that Connor had indeed possessed a "Meet a Peach" account, which he had deleted but which lingered in the digital cloud. His profile revealed he was offering a "daddy special" to younger women, adding a chilling layer to their investigation.
As Mike arrives with a visibly ailing Cooper, Faith silences him abruptly. The tension escalates as Amanda and Faith engage in a heated debate, the situation worsening as Cooper's condition deteriorates. The women's focus sharpens when the little girl mentions a painful ache in her right side, sparking a realization—it could be her appendix. Without hesitation, Mike rushes Cooper to the hospital.
Faith pores over Strawberry Girl's information and poetry, searching in vain for any clues until she sets up a new rendezvous with Daddy x 72. They secure a location but instead encounter a soaked Angie in the woods, her appearance a stark contrast to their expectations.
The narrative shifts back to Monday, seen through Angie's eyes. After Will and Faith depart, Angie and Betty indulge in a joyful sing-along and dance, their spirits lifted as they sand the table together. Amanda's unexpected visit brings an invitation for Angie to join the GBI, igniting a spark of possibility.
On Tuesday, Angie shares the thrilling news with Franklin, affirming her newfound focus. Later, she and Crystal attend a meeting for sexual assault survivors, where Angie opens up about choosing toys from a dentist's treasure chest, believing they would shield her from harm. Her memories of Lenny's attack are a blur, vivid only in the haunting image of him overpowering her. Following that trauma, her mother's new relationship with another abusive man prompted Angie's escape. Betty, sensing her pain, offers a comforting embrace.
Wednesday brings an uneasy foreboding for Angie as she spots the murder victim's board. The toys on display stir a deep unease within her, evoking memories of Crystal stabbing Lenny. Her concern deepens when Crystal is nowhere to be found, and men's glasses, out of place, catch her eye at Crystal's residence.
Horror washes over Angie as she discovers Crystal with another man in the woods. Crystal attempts to justify their actions, but Angie strives to reason with her, to no avail. In a chaotic scuffle, Crystal stumbles over a rock, plunging into a nearby river and drowning in its depths.
Confiding in Faith and Will, Angie reveals her desire to help Crystal, bound by their shared history of rape at Lenny's hands. Faith persists in grilling Angie about Crystal's motives and whether she had foreknowledge, but Will intervenes, sensing the interrogation's toll. In private, Will tries again, yet Angie's only wish is to return home, the weight of the past days' revelations too heavy to bear.
Mike and Max envelop Cooper in a cocoon of cuddly stuffed animals, creating a sanctuary of comfort. Gina reappears on the scene, yet her heart harbors desires for divorce and the guardianship of their children. Will gradually unravels the truth that Angue has concealed: Crystal's guilt in Lenny's murder. Torn between loyalty and justice, he grapples with an excruciating dilemma. Initially, it seems as though he succumbs to his emotions, choosing Angue and embracing a semblance of blissful coexistence. However, beneath this facade, he meticulously orchestrates her arrest. The town turns against him, casting aspersions and accusations. Overwhelmed by the barrage of blame, Will ultimately decides to flee the town, seeking solace far from the storm he's ignited.
