Summary
Altaf attempts to get on a city bus without money and is let on by the frustrated bus driver. An employee catches up to the bus before it departs and makes casual conversation with the driver about how he was interviewed regarding Altaf's disappearance the day before. The employee sits down next to Altaf and strikes up conversation about his hair.

Heer, Bilal, and Nazzy attempt to find leads on Altaf on a conspiracy theory forum. After some argument, Lee shows up. In the meantime, the employee invites Altaf for pity drinks downtown since his boss is missing. Altaf discovers that his previous employees (save for the one who invited him) all hate him for being an incompetent boss. The employee also discovers that Altaf has been declared dead. Altaf mopes outside, but the employee invites Altaf home for some drinks. When Altaf lightly refuses, the employee drugs him.

Lee introduces herself to Bilal and Nazzy, then invites herself onto the Altaf search team since she is supposed to be at the apartment studying for her math placement test anyway. Lee tells Heer that the search on the forums has been largely useless, causing Heer to have a minor breakdown. Nazzy suggests that they drop Lee off back at the Quincy manor. On the subway, Nazzy tells Lee that Elena has met her and her brother, but is unaware of their background. Elena arrives to pick up Lee, but decides to walk with a frazzled Heer to discuss what's going on instead, leaving Bilal to drive the others to the manor.

Altaf awakens in the employee's apartment, who reveals that he suspects that Altaf did not just help Heer disappear, but killed them and covered it up. Altaf tries to leave. Meanwhile, Heer and Elena talk, with Heer trying to explain what's been going on with Altaf without revealing too much. Elena misunderstands and assumes Heer has found someone that they are romantically interested in, which clearly flusters her. However, the conversation helps Heer feel more confident in speaking to their father when they find him. The two return to the manor and Heer decides that the Kazans need to sleep before resuming their search the next day.

Altaf attempts to escape, but is unable to move normally due to being drugged. He clumsily falls into a room while searching for the exit, which is plastered with pictures of the Kazans and Altaf. Altaf tries to ask what the employee wants with Heer, but is knocked out cold.
