Brooke and Chick are furious. They discover that the Moore family is on a private plane back to the US. This is a contrast to Brooke’s past demeanor: She was criticized after the boys went missing, and perceived as too calm, which made the police suspicious of her and Chick. They hold a press conference and show the age-progression pictures of the boys, as well as a photo of Fat Gandhi.

Win fears that he has damaged Brooke’s trust in him and is extra motivated to find Patrick and right his wrong. Nancy texts Brooke, and Chick says that Nancy never liked them and blamed them for the boys’ disappearance. In turn, they never liked her ex-husband Hunter.

Brooke and Myron discuss how he and Win met in college. Myron thinks that he was partially drawn to Win because of his “darkness.” Five football players broke into Win’s room to shave his head and Win injured all of them. Brooke reflects that Nancy will do whatever is best for her child, and Myron tells Brooke to do what is best for hers.

Nancy texts Brooke that she’ll come to her house. Myron goes to his former high school to see his nephew Mickey play basketball. He stands in the gym and reflects on his basketball career, reminiscing with Mickey’s coach. Mickey stands out as the best player on the court. 

After the game, Mickey and Myron climb into a limo. Mickey’s parents are currently out of the picture, and Myron’s parents are staying with him. Myron tells Mickey about Patrick and Rhys, who are the same age as Mickey. They arrive at the Prudential Center in Newark to watch professional wrestling. Myron’s friend Esperanza Diaz is a member of the Fabulous Ladies of Wrestling, and Myron is there to watch her and her friend Big Cyndi.

Big Cyndi, who was formerly Myron’s receptionist at the sports agency, greets Myron and Mickey. Esperanza joins them and offers to help in the case. Myron tells Mickey that he is going to meet Patrick tomorrow. Mickey offers his help, pointing out that he could offer insight into the case since he and Patrick are the same age.

Myron drives through a wealthy neighborhood to the Baldwins’ house, where he meets Clark, Rhys’s older brother. Now 21 years old, Clark is a junior at Columbia University. Myron asks Clark what he remembers about the day of Patrick’s and Rhys’s disappearance. Clark reminds him that Rhys and Patrick had a half-day at kindergarten that day.

Myron greets Brooke and retraces the steps of the crime scene with her, trying to understand where Patrick and Rhys were playing. He walks along the glass windows, skeptical that no one saw men in ski masks break into the house. He finds it odd that the kidnappers knew that the boys had a half-day and would be home early. Brooke discusses how traumatized she is by her own house and struggles to find closure. Then Chick arrives and tells Myron and Brooke that he received a text from Nancy, asking them to meet her at her house.

Myron drives to the Moores’ house as Chick and Brooke hold hands in the back seat. They are all discouraged to see news trucks surrounding the Moores’ house. So far, the media only has one picture of Patrick sleeping in the hospital, and they all want a picture of a family reunion. Myron notices a “for sale” sign in the yard. He deduces that since Hunter and Nancy got divorced, Nancy now lives here with Francesca, who is Clark’s age, and Patrick.

Nancy is waiting for them with a man in his early fifties whom Myron does not recognize. Chick is hostile toward the stranger, a psychiatrist named Lionel. He tells them that Patrick cannot help them, and they should not speak to Patrick. Lionel says that Rhys was held by the same man who held Patrick. Patrick is comforted by the presence of his sister Francesca.

Nancy tells them that she understands they are worried, but she ultimately prioritizes her son. Chick storms past Nancy and Lionel and runs up the stairs to Patrick’s bedroom, which has not changed in 10 years. Patrick is huddling on the ground, rocking back and forth. Hunter asks them to leave.

Win stays in a luxury hotel in Rome, where the staff know him well. Every time he stays there, he hires sex workers. He justifies this by pointing out that he enjoys sex and, unlike Myron, believes that sex is preferable without an emotional connection. He is not interested in romantic commitment and prefers one-night stands. Myron worries about this aspect of his personality and fears that Win is missing out on romantic connections. Win is content with his choices and says he is a feminist.

Win visits some tourist spots in Rome, then he receives a phone call and makes his way toward a sporting goods shop. He enters a room at the back of the shop, where he meets a man in a soccer referee uniform named Giuseppe. Two other men are typing furiously; their workspaces are decorated with memorabilia of two rival soccer teams, Roma and Lazio. Giuseppe introduces Win to Carlo and Renato as their “new sponsor.” Win explains that he knew how to find them because Fat Gandhi was playing them when Myron saw him. Win offers them €100,000 to defeat Fat Gandhi in a video game.

Esperanza meets Myron at Baumgart’s, a restaurant in New Jersey. She tells him that her ex-husband canceled the settlement talks in their divorce proceedings. In Myron’s sports agency, Esperanza served as his receptionist, then got her law degree and became a partner. Her husband Tom wants a divorce and says she is an unfit mother because she works too hard. 

Esperanza tells Myron that she went to the Alpine police station to find out the status of Patrick’s case. The detective who ran the case 10 years ago, Neil Huber, used to be a high school basketball coach; Myron played his team in high school.

That night, Myron waits outside a nightclub in the Meatpacking District in New York City. He watches Tom, who is drunk, attempting to get a drunk woman into his car. Myron tells Tom to reconsider and is annoyed by Tom’s confidence, reminding him that he is successful because his rich father supports him. Myron threatens Tom by telling him that Win will be home soon.

Myron contemplates the sometimes scandalous and corrupt world of New Jersey. He is disappointed that Neil looks like a typical politician. Neil tells Myron that the Moores are going on CNN in a few hours, and Myron ingratiates himself by telling Neil how he tracked down Patrick in London.

Myron asks Neil about the investigation, and Neil admits that there are several holes in the story. The police even doubted the stories that they were told at the time. The media was extremely unkind to Vada Linna, the Finnish au pair, who was very traumatized. Her father flew in and took her back to Finland. The police concluded that she was innocent and not connected to the kidnapping.

Neil says that he always assumed that Patrick and Rhys were dead. He thought the abduction was connected to Chick’s financial malfeasance, maybe people to whom he owed money. Neil is reluctant to say more about Chick but eventually admits that they discovered many texts between Chick and Nancy but were not able to see what the texts said. Chick and Nancy maintained that all texts were related to the boys or investments, but Neil suspected they were having an affair.
