Chapter 53 Summary

After a restless night, Sydney texts Jake early the next morning. He comes over immediately and is shocked when she asks him to run prints on the bottle. She reluctantly admits that she believes Tom killed Bonnie and that she barely escaped his apartment. Jake is stunned and assures her that he would kill Tom if he ever hurt Sydney. Sydney wonders if he’s changed since their relationship ended. Jake agrees to run the prints.

Tom wonders why Slug is following him, given their years of friendship. He regrets the fact that his only friend turned out to be a killer.

Slug sarcastically suggests that Tom handled Allison in the same way. Tom warns Slug to stay away from Daisy. Slug insists he won’t go to jail for Tom’s mistakes.
