During their trip to Florida, Athena and Bobby work a cold case involving her childhood friend from 1977.

  • Alone with the Psycho: As the local detective and Athena piece together the case, Tanya's surviving older sister Joanne is held at gunpoint by Reggie Jr.
  • A Day in the Limelight: Athena and Bobby are the only characters to appear in this episode, and the focus is on Athena.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Reggie Sr.'s reaction when he finds out that covering up Tanya's murder allowed Reggie Jr. to go on to kill 6 more girls.
