Perry comes to tell Marcus he visited Stern and saw him with his lawyer, who is also his romantic partner. Stern only engaged Nola to sit for Caleb.

Concord, Late July, 1975: Nola comes to Stern and asks him to hire her in exchange for allowing Harry to stay at Goose Cove. Caleb desperately wants to paint her as she looks like his former fiancée, so Stern forces her to pose nude for Caleb.

Stern tells Perry he realized Caleb was in love with Nola. He followed him and found him lurking in the bushes at Harry’s house. Worried, Stern wanted Caleb to stop painting Nola, and they argued on August 29; soon after, Caleb left the house. Stern believes Caleb killed Nola. Perry shares with Marcus his findings from Caleb’s accident report. They discovered him in a black Chevrolet registered to Stern’s company.

Marcus and Perry go to Sagamore to see a police officer who was first on the scene. He says the man in the car was smashed to a pulp. When he saw the registration, he called Stern’s company and then Chief Pratt, who came that day but said the model did not match the one he saw during the pursuit and that he was not sure it had been a Monte Carlo in the first place.
