She won't be a pretty face any longer...

Wanting to learn what else Louis Leroux knew about Ad Astra's plans, the GBPD head downs to his workplace at the CCN TV Studio to find information. When they get there they find the body of actress Savannah Blake, her body burned by acid.

Tropes

  • The Bus Came Back:
  • Cliffhanger: Before Gloria and the player can interrogate Louis once again, Cathy reports that he's been found dead in his cell.
  • Evil All Along: Louis is revealed to be the final member of Ad Astra.
  • Facial Horror: Savannah was killed when someone threw drain cleaner at her body, giving her third degree burns. It's not done her face any favors, to say the least.
  • Hypocrite: Come the reveal that Savannah set up the charity just to get herself extra money, her condemning Ronald for only thinking about himself comes across as this.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: You know that Jones' depression during the leave is bad when he doesn't even think about food. This is implied as Amir tells us that even when he took him to his favorite coffee place, he didn't even look at the donuts.
  • Stealing from the Till: You remember that charity Savannah started for victims of the earthquake? Izzy Ramsey discovered that Savannah had actually been embezzling money from it. Luckily, you get Brooke to return the money Savannah had pocketed.
  • Tragic Stillbirth: The murder was set off because Savannah's publicist Clarisse had finally become pregnant after years of trying. However, it was a risky pregnancy, and it fell apart when Savannah demanded Clarisse accompany her to a publicity event after she had contracted the flu. Clarisse caught it, her child died in the womb, and here we are now.
