Rachel
- Cathy gives Rachel a little present: a formal notice of eviction. Aw, thanks.
- Rachel cries on the train.
- When it stops in front of "Jason's" house, Rachel is alarmed that Jason seems to be looking right at her.
- Later that day, Rachel is hit by a cab and sent to the hospital.
- How'd that happen?
- Well, Rachel was distracted by a newspaper headline and she walked right in front of the car.
- What's the headline? "CONCERN FOR MISSING WITNEY WOMAN" (5.23).
- Witney is "Jess's" neighborhood, not a misspelling of Whitney Houston.
- Rachel discovers that Jess's real name is Megan Hipwell… and she's missing.
