Thursday-The Next Evening At Jill's Apartment

Jane: So, you're leaving the beanie baby's, the earring tree and the butt master?

Jill: It was late at night. Couldn't sleep.
Infomercials.

Claire: That's how I ended up with a rotato.

Jill: You know, this is the good thing about moving in with a man, starting a whole new grown-up relationship, is that you can leave your embarrassing stuff behind. It's like leaving your lesser self. Starting fresh, clean slate-I love it.
Just one beanie baby - the dolphin. I want you to keep this for me.

Claire: Is it somebody's ashes?

Jill: It's a getaway box.

Jane: Get away from what?

Jill: You know, living with luke isn't going so hot. I, uh, need to get out in a hurry. I don't have to stop and pack stuff. Ruins the whole dramatic exit.

Claire: So if it doesn't work out with luke, you're living with me?

Jill: No, I'm just gonna come pick up the box. Maybe I'll spend one night.

Jane: Oh, so romantic.

Jill: I've never lived with anybody before. It makes me nervous. You, of all people, should understand.

Jane: Just because one of my relationships went down in flames doesn't mean that yours is going to.

Claire: And if it does, at least you know there's no chance Luke will end up being your boss.

Jane: Hey, I am totally okay with the "my ex is now my boss" thing. Tom is professional. I am professional. It's all very professional. Seriously. We are both very okay with this. But since you brought up the subject of work -

Jill: No, no. She didn't bring up work.
She brought up Tom. We're taking a work break.

Claire: Which means no discussion of the kiss me not killer.

Jane: I never 100% agreed to that.

Jill: What's left to discuss? We have nothing - no D.N.A., No fingerprints, no fibers. We don't even know who she is, the poor girl.

Jane: We're missing something. No killer is that good. They always make a mistake.

Claire: Not this one. Not yet.

Jill: Jane, I'm not saying you shouldn't do everything in your power to bring this son of a bitch down. You should. We all should, and we will. But you need to be able to put it away sometimes, like, for example, now. Let's just try and be in the moment.

Jane: You're the one with the getaway box.

Their phones ring and vibrate.

Jane: Ah, this can't be good.

Jane: Isles.
Jill: Bernhardt.
Claire: Washburn.
Maura: Isles.

At the Scene

Officer: We're in the process of disconnecting the car, so the electricity had to be turn off.

Jane: I don't know how much we can do in the dark.

Officer: Somebody's working on a generator. Watch your step.

The lights come on and they see the bodies.

Jane: I wish I had a getaway box for this.
