Plot Overview

Nancy told Mike, Adam, and Nicole about her meeting with Geraldine. Nancy feared Geraldine's horrified reaction to Keith and Laurie's date, but Mike assured her Laurie would be home safely in time for her theatre date with Vic. At the Whitney summer estate, Keith finished his steak dinner and grinned at an unconscious Laurie, but Laurie was secretly awake. On Adam's advice, Bill arrived at the Karr home, but was skeptical of Adam's theories about Keith. When Bill argued Keith couldn't have returned to Monticello to commit murder without being recognized, Adam realized Keith probably used a disguise. Nancy panicked when Adam drew a beard and moustache on Keith's campaign photo, revealing Keith and Jonah Lockwood as the same man. At the boathouse, Keith lamented being forced to kill Laurie and loaded a rifle. Laurie knocked Keith off balance, making a dash for freedom. Keith chased Laurie through the woods, but she eluded him. Laurie made it to the car, then was horrified to see Keith in a clearing dangling the car keys. Keith fired a shot at Laurie, but missed. Laurie made a mad dash for the tower and locked herself inside. Keith, knowing another entrance to the tower, tried to overpower Laurie, who was armed with a crowbar. Laurie fell and was knocked unconscious while attempting to strike Keith. Geraldine suddenly arrived just as Keith had carried Laurie to the top of the tower staircase. A tearful Geraldine begged Keith to let her help him, but completely insane, he began to recite the Presidential oath. When Geraldine moved closer, Keith tried to finish off Laurie, but in his haste, he tripped and fell headlong down the winding staircase. Geraldine sank to her knees as Keith died at her feet.
