Joan tells Sara and Casey that she is worried about Tim. She and Hank say that they had gone to Tim's room. The manager of the motel had let them into his room, and he wasn't there, but all of his things were. Sara says that she blames Tess for Tim's disappearance because she'd seen Tess and Tim together plotting something, and perhaps their relationship had gone bad and Tess had done something to him. Hank, Casey and Joan agree that Sara's suspicions seem reasonable. Maria arrives, asking them to get Meg to leave "Ben" alone. The Cummingses suggest that Maria should talk to "Ben" about it. Casey takes Maria aside to ask if she could trust what "Ben" had said to her and if she could say that "Ben" hadn't been acting at all strangely lately. She accuses him of siding with the Cummingses against her, not allowing him to defend himself.
