Stoller becomes emotionally involved with Monique who is going through an exceptionally difficult time in her relationship with Albert. She decides to confide some aspects of her life with Stoller. Later, Monique learns that an extra crewman, unaccounted for at the crash scene, has been found dead in woodland and that information given by Stoller does not tally with that recently received from London.
