Pip reviews Joanna’s recent photos and a birthday video of Jamie, capturing his appearance and mood days before he vanished. She asks Connor to email all images for circulation and reference.

They move to Jamie’s room. Pip attempts to log into Jamie’s laptop, guessing passwords without success; the hint reads, “Get off my computer, Con.” Recognizing the laptop as a crucial link to Jamie’s accounts, Pip assigns Joanna to keep trying systematic password variations.

Continuing the search, Pip checks the desk, drawers, and bin. She finds a Co-op receipt from Tuesday the 24th (14:23) and a Monster Munch packet bearing a slip: “Hillary F Weiseman left 11.” A records search shows a local Hillary F. Weiseman who died in 2006, leaving the note’s meaning unresolved but flagged as a potential lead.

Connor searches clothing pockets without result. In the bedside table, Pip finds Jamie’s passport, earbuds, vitamins, a bookmark, and a rose-gold women’s watch that neither Joanna nor Zoe owns, suggesting an unknown connection. No other personal clues emerge.

Pip instructs Joanna and Connor to keep attempting the laptop password, record tries, and watch for any delivered messages to Jamie’s phone. Pip plans to compile findings, edit audio, and announce Jamie’s disappearance publicly the next morning.
