At her lowest point, Becky meets fellow reporter Elizabeth Williamson and begins writing articles together for a local weekly newspaper. As the Lisbon police reveal more evidence to the press, Becky, being highly ambitious, sets out to solve the murders thinking that Pearl Lake holds the clues she needs.
