Chelsey arrives at the Blacks’ house, but Kat tells her that Ellie went to see Sam. Ellie is not answering her phone, so Kat calls Sam, who tells her that Ellie said that she was going to visit Danny. When Kat calls Danny, he tells her that he has not seen Ellie and that they did not have plans that day. Sam then calls back and tells them that she remembers that Ellie had a backpack in her car.
