Olivia says no that that isn't it. She tells Abby about the people behind Frankie Vargas's murder and that if Abby could help him that would be helpful.
Huck wakes up in the trunk of Meg's car laying next to Jennifer's dead body. Meg drives the car out to a reservoir and pushes it off a cliff and into the water below. Huck starts to freak out as the car fills up with water. He tries to get the trunk door open but it won't budge. He pushes Meg's body out of the way and tries to get the back seat to fold down but that doesn't work either. He starts to hallucinate and has a dream of him being back at OPA. They advise him on how to escape. He manages to get to the front of the car where he has access to the windows. He tries to break them but isn't able to until he grabs one of the seat's headrests and uses the sharp end to shatter the glass. He swims to the surface where he floats on his back and realizes that he can't swim that far to land.
Abby calls Samantha Ruland what she did with Huck. Samantha tells her that Huck is dead. She asks where Huck's body is but Samantha hangs up on her.
