Where?
- D--deserted house.

Wait, you died
at the homecoming game?

Yeah, and my family still
shows up for me every year.

Did you say anything
about me?

I don't remember.

Is it hard seeing him?

It's getting easier,
especially now that

I'm 95% sure he didn't kill me.

Win back Claire's confidence,

How am I gonna do that?

Tell him to ask her
to the homecoming dance.

Ask her
to the homecoming dance.

You're shitting me.

Do you wanna go
to the dance with me?

Sure, Wally.

I'm guessing this is how

Claire dragged your body
out of here.

You what?

I just can't--

Shh! Keep your voice down.

You waited to be dead

to go to a school dance

with a jock?

Who are you now?

I'm changing the subject.

I would rather talk
about my murder

and my maybe murderer,
Claire, please.

Simon.

That's so gross.

Is it, Chloe?

I mean, I just think it's gross

that you're being
so judgmental.

Isn't your boyfriend
the guy who's been wearing

the same boat shoes
without socks

And yet, I've never
brought that up.

Xavier is hot and original.

And he's been through a lot.

Expand your horizons, ladies.

And we're sure he didn't
murder his girlfriend?

Yes, we're sure.

What does that even mean?

Get her to admit
what she did.

The blackmail, for starters.

We know she's
blackmailing Anderson

for grades, right?

When they got that video,
they freaked.

And if Anderson didn't do it--

Then Claire definitely did.

We need to confirm
she took Maddie's phone

and smashed it--

and what else
she may have smashed,

like Maddie's head.

- Simon.
- Jesus. Come on.

- Nice.
- What? We need the truth.

Does the truth have to be
so graphic while we're eating?

You need to charm Claire
into a confession

and record it on your phone.

Get her to admit
she dragged Maddie's body

out the fallout shelter.
- Charm her?

Last week she was pretending
I didn't even exist.

How did that feel?

I don't even know
why she said yes.

Maybe she still
thinks you're hot.

He's gotta look hotter.

But you need to look hotter.

She did ask if I had a suit.

- Do you?
- No.

- Well, Nicole can help.
- Nicole,

take him to the mall,
find him a suit.

Why, 'cause I'm a girl?

[chuckles]

- This needs something.
- Fine.

Yeah.

Are you sure
you're okay with this?

You mean setting up

What the hell is happening?

Where were they?

Claire didn't do anything
to Maddie.

I believe her. I do.

Claire was blackmailing
Anderson for grades.

When Claire and Anderson got
that video,

they thought
that Maddie had taken it,

so they paid her off.

When Maddie disappeared,
Claire panicked.

I mean,
if that video got out there,

people would think that--

That's motive.

Yeah.

They couldn't get
into Maddie's locked phone,

so they destroyed it.

We were right,

but Claire wouldn't
hurt Maddie.

She wouldn't.

I believe her.

There was somebody out there.

I believe you.

Sandra, you home?

Did you call the police?

No.

[insects chirring, dog barking]

Hi.

I promised I'd, um--

well, I have some news.

You know the empty house where
we found Maddie's backpack?

Yes.

Well, we found
something else,

a possible murder weapon.

What?

Murder weapon?

We've traced the object to,
uh, a person of interest.

They're being brought in
for questioning as we speak.

Who?

- Roger South?
- Yeah?

It's an employee
at the high school.

I can't release a name
just yet.

I'm sorry.

But it's not Anderson.

He has a solid alibi.

As soon as I have
more information I can share,

you'll be the first to know.

Why--

why would someone do this?

Anderson has given us
enough information

to believe that, uh,

Maddie had a great deal
of money on her.

And this person wanted it.

I was Team Crystal.

Oh, okay, humor did not work.

Uh, let's try truth.

Being a ghost sucks.

Yup.

I mean,
you're forced to watch

your cheating ex-BF dance
with your cheating ex-BFF,

and they have no idea
you even exist.

If you're trying
to cheer me up--

Okay, I--I wasn't done.

Being a ghost sucks
most of the time.

But today I was able
to watch the love of my life

close a very old,
very deep wound...

thanks to you.

How do you feel now?

I'm ready to forgive.

Live my death, remember?

It's good advice, you know.

Maybe it's time you,

you know, take it.

Maybe you should focus on
the person you came here with.

There was a lot happening,

Maddie, it's--it's fine.

You don't have

Hey.

We were just talking about it--
- Simon, listen.

A weapon.

A weapon that may have

to murder Maddie Nears.

And then how do they know

South!
He's the only one

Yeah, I do.
I'll take care of it.

Just--I can't believe it.
