- Jessica happens on a computerized clue to a murder while writing a mystery story for a friend's interactive video game company.
- Michael Burke has got Jessica to write a murder script "A Killing at Hastings' Rock" for their firm Marathon Images to base a virtual reality game on. The test version has a grave program flaw, which may sink the firm by missing a press presentation deadline. Jessica promises to rewrite the script so the failing character is no longer needed. Two partners secretly go to Redwood Concepts where James Lindstrom tells its CEO John Crowley he demands a bonus for dealing with him, now that he knows about his criminal past under the name Charles Crowe, while his partner David Salt promises 'another solution'. Jessica's fix works, but programming out a confusing set of locked doors would take too long. During the reception, Michael gets called by his P.I., Dan Porter, and confronts James about his contacting Crowley, who is there too. Shortly after, James' corpse is discovered, and his essential source codes are missing. Michael openly suspects Crowley. Investigating police Sergeant Ignacio Delcanto suspects a professional murder and arrests Michael because his finger prints where found on the murder weapon, Lindstrom's own gun. Jessica contacts Porter, having heard his name, and suggests he extorted a small fortune for withholding from Michael the involvement of David Salt. Alex and Jessica hack James' computer code, which inspires Jessica to set up the real murderer.—KGF Vissers
