Charlotte stood next to Nathan with her arms crossed over her chest as Sergeant Grey walked up to the group. "How is this possible? The only person that knew Rosalind buried a body in that spot is her, and she's been on death row for four years," Grey asked.
"Maybe she was working with someone from back in the day, someone we missed," Armstrong suggested.
"Or she inspired a new killer," Harper stated.
"And she just so happened to find the dig spot in the middle of a state park? I don't think so. They've got to be working together," John exclaimed.
"But how? All contact between her and the world is heavily monitored."
"Let's ask her," John said what Charlotte was thinking,
"Not yet. This was coordinated from the beginning. She's been playing us since she made the deal with Del Monte," Armstrong said, his voice mixed with frustration and realization.
"You know her better than anyone else. What's the play here?" Harper asked.
"She wants attention. So let's not give it to her till we find out everything we can about that second body," Armstrong told the team.
Just as Angela stepped aside to answer a call, Charlotte's phone began to ring. "Sorry, I gotta take this," Charlotte said to Nathan, noticing it was Eddie calling her. Nathan nodded as Charlotte answered, "Hey. Is everything okay?" Charlotte asked, stepping away from the group.
"Thank God, you're okay. We saw that a cop was shot and I saw that you were by the area where the cop was shot–" Eddie began to ramble.
"Eds, I'm fine. Everyone's fine. Del Monte is okay. Sorry, I should have texted you or called you..." Charlotte told him.
"No, it's okay. I just wanted to make sure you were okay, plus I heard that you were with Rosalind today," Eddie said.
"Yeah, I'm fine. She's just trying to get under our skin. Don't worry about me, I'll see you in the morning," Charlotte told Eddie, since they were going to get breakfast before Charlotte's shift.
"See you in the morning. Love you," Eddie said.
"Love you too," Charlotte replied as the two ended their call.
Charlotte glanced over and saw Lucy was smiling at something on her phone, maybe this was what she was wanting to talk to her after shift today.

Charlotte walked beside Harper and Nathan as they continued their hike to the location of where Rosalind buried a body. Charlotte ignored most of what Rosalind was saying to John. the group came to a stop as John and Jackson began to get the tools to dig up the body, "I buried him at the base of that tree. I gave him paralytic. Put it in his iced tea. And we watched the sun set as I took off his hands and feet. It was such a special day. Do you know why, Nick? " Rosalind asked.
"No. And I don't want to know," Armstrong replied.
"It was the first day that you and I met. Ohhhh," Rosalind exclaimed seeing that Armstrong remembered that day well, "You had no idea when you came to my office that morning that I was the one you were looking for. I thought for sure at first you were onto me, but I could see in your eye you had no clue. So... I came up here to celebrate."
John and Jackson began to dig carefully at the spot, "Got something. No hands. It's him," John stated after a few minutes went by after what Rosalind had shared about this victim's death.
Charlotte noticed that Jackson was looking at something, "Holy God!" Jackson exclaimed as he found a partially decomposed head that looked only to be 6 month's fresh of the kill.
