He looks at us, piecing it together then runs out. Nancy and I go after him, "Ryan, wait!" Nancy says

"I'm not spending another minute in this town unless I have a private security detail. Why would they try to kill me? Is this a business hit?" He asks

"Oh, my God, Ryan. Are you serious?" I ask

"When Tiffany died, you were losing money for Hudson Enterprises. I don't think anybody considered you a business threat. I think it had a lot more to do with this" Nancy says grabbing out her phone

"I was trying to record the fireworks the night Tiffany was poisoned, but instead I caught this" Nancy says

We watch the video, "Is that Lucy? What the hell is this?" Ryan asks

Then the power goes out and we turn around, Nancy's phone starts acting weird, "Now everyone from that night is here" Nancy says

"What do you mean, like Lucy?" Ryan asks

Nancy waves her phone, certain places are static but others are clear, "I think she's trying to show us something" She says

"No, no, no" Ryan says

Nancy and I walk up, I follow her as she uses her phone to see where to go. We keep walking around the deck when we get to one spot. Nancy moves the phone, static, when she moves it back, Dead Lucy is on the screen. She crawls away and the lights come back on, "What was that?" I ask

Nancy walks over and we can here Bess and Laura talking, she bends down and I do to. We can here them talking pretty well, "Nancy..." I say

She gets up and I follow her as we walk back to Ryan, "What happened?" Ryan asks
"The killer could hear your order. Everyone else at the table ordered fries, but you ordered a salad. So they knew exactly which dish to poison" Nancy says

"That doesn't make any sense" He says

"Of course it does because Lucy's death led to Tiffany's death and this is how" She says

"It was revenge" I say

Nancy starts walking towards Ryan, "Because you murdered Lucy Sable. That's why she's been haunting you since you came back to Horseshoe Bay. Tiffany sensed her presence..." She says

Ryan walks away but we follow, "...because Lucy was trying to warn her about you. That's why Lucy was here the night Tiffany died! Because you killed Lucy!" Nancy yells

He stops walking then turns and starts to walk towards her but I get between them, "I didn't kill Lucy!" He yells

"Ryan step back!" I yell
He does, "I loved her" He says

Nancy pulls out the emails, "I can't forgive you for what you did. You're a whore just like everyone says. I hope you die" She reads

She throws the paper at him and he looks at it, "Yeah, that sounds a lot like love to me" She says

He reads it, "I...I didn't..." He starts

"You didn't what? You didn't write that?" I ask

"Just like you didn't lie to me about breaking things off after the Velvet Masque? Just like you didn't arrange a meeting with her the night she was murdered? Did she meet somebody else, and so you killed her?" Nancy asks angry

Ryan just looks at us then quickly gets in his car and drives off. I look at Nancy, "Are you okay?" I ask

She shakes her head no, so I pull her into a hug. We stand there for a few minutes before we walk back inside, "You two all right?" Ace asks
