They arrive in front of Devin's flat out of breath and exhausted.
"Why are we in front of Devin's flat, of all places?!" Piper exclaims.
"Devin knows Connor. I just remembered. I met Connor last winter and Devin introduced us. I had no idea they were twins though." Skye raps the door. Devin answers, looking like he has been through a car crash.
"Hey, Skye," he nods to Piper, "What's up? Is everything alright I'm still set for another couple of weeks if that is why you're here."
"No that isn't why we're here Devin. We're actually here for information on Connor Jackson.
"Connor? Dude, I haven't seen him in..." A look of realization dawns on Devin's face. "Skye...he overdosed...I better tell you."
He leads Piper and Skye into the mess he calls a room and sits them down on a couch that looked like it has been run over several times by a stampede of wildebeests, just like Mufasa in The Lion King. Although unlike Mufasa this thing should be considered a safety hazard.
"So, what happened?"
"We were at some party and Connor felt like unwinding so I told him about you and your little business," he motioned his head at Skye, "And one thing led to another and Connor just fell flat on his face onto the glass coffee table. Camille wasn't there because she was too busy being a straight A student, but when she heard about it, she was furious of course, but I didn't hear about the incident from her since."
"She never mentioned her brother again?" Skye asks.
"I don't know. I mean, I hardly know her."
"Piper, I think it's time to find Moira again." Skye and Piper leave Devin's flat feeling hopeful that they found some clues that would lead them to the culprit.
They arrive at Moira's house only to find Moira with tears in her eyes, again.
"Skye, Piper. Why are you here? I told you everything I know."
"Moira, can we ask you about Connor Jackson." Just as Skye says his name, Moira starts bawling again.
"Oh, it was horrible. Camille wouldn't stop telling me how much she wanted to get revenge on Devin because he didn't stop Connor from overdosing. Then, she learned from Devin that you sold him the drugs so she started blaming you. It took me so long to talk her out of trying to get revenge on you."
Piper gasped, "So all this time, Camille hated Skye?!"
Moira nods, "Not to mention that Chris was Skye's ex too."
Skye gasps, "I've got it!" she grabs Piper by the arm and says, "Thanks Moira, for everything." She runs out the door and quickly gets into the car.
"So, you've figured out the case?" asks Piper.
"Not entirely. But, I've got a hunch."
