Holly takes her shot, and Robert reminds her that she forgot the ritual. She substitutes the saltshaker on the table with one she’s drugged, and he uses the salt and lime to do the shot.

Chase wonders how long ago did Dante ask for the letter. Dante admits it’s been a few weeks. Chase can’t help but worry if Brook Lynn never planned to send the letter in.
