In spite of the coroner's decision, not everyone in Collinsport is satisfied Bill Malloy died accidentally. Coming from behind the opening production slate, David (David Henesy) announces his father is the murderer. Avoiding math lessons from some very peculiar arithmetic books, it's no wonder David thinks 8 x 8 = 65. David tells Vicki (Alexandra Moltke) his crystal ball identified Malloy's killer. David notices the silver fountain pen in Vicki's possession. He thinks it's cool. Before the end of the episode, half the cast will deduce the pen is very important evidence...
Roger again offers Vicki a job with friends in Florida, adding a few thousand dollars to the deal...
At the hotel restaurant, Burke (Mitchell Ryan) grills Patterson, but the sheriff is not impressed with Burke's idea that Malloy's killer lost a fountain pen on the beach at "Lookout Point".

Burke decides to call Roger and invite him to town for a confrontation. Burke tells Roger he's at the Blue Whale, but he's not; he's at the "Collins Port Inn". Roger gets there in nine minutes and 20 seconds. At Collinwood, a theft occurs...
