Next door, Alex speaks to the ashes-she can't believe it, Asa's spirit is visiting her. She orders some beauty services and sprays the room heavily with her perfume. She can even smell Asa's cigar. Asa, going by his old name, Jeb Stuart, calls the hotel manager and demands his neighbor be removed. He can smell perfume that reminds him of his "least favorite ex-wife." He finds out that he'll have to take care of this himself and tries to open the connecting door.

Gabrielle thinks back and decides that it's Todd, who must be framing Blair as well. Max is disbelieving, especially since Gabby says it's her intuition. She denies having spoken to Todd and gives a rather confusing explanation, mentioning that Asa is the one who told her. They need to prove their innocence and they need to provide a suspect with more than her intuition, Max grumbles. Bo explains what's been going on to Hank, who can't believe that Asa actually set a trap before his death. The officer returns with another envelope, found at the rail station.
