Even though Vera feels a little bored and wants more excitement, everything changes when she meets a worried young woman looking for her missing friend. While watching Tilly and Selena’s cat, Vera finds a briefcase that belongs to Selena with a file about the strange death of social media influencer Xander Lin, who was found in Mission Bay.
