Evone Thompson knew about her daughter's divorce and thought it might be for the best. To help her daughter navigate post-divorce emotions, she planned to take Gale Summer to London for a break after New Year's Day and have Jaylene Ziel talk to her.
But her daughter didn't come home the night she received the divorce papers, and Evone had just been to her daughter's apartment and found no one there. She began to panic and hastily called Gale Summer, only to be informed that the phone was switched off.
Gale Summer's phone is off? Where could she have gone? Could it be that she forgot to come home last night?
Evone guessed that her daughter might have gone wandering because she was in a bad mood, so she didn't think much of it. Besides, the beauty salon was quite busy that evening, and she didn't call her daughter again.
It was only after she got home, past midnight, that she thought to call her daughter again to see if she had fallen asleep in the apartment.
