Torn between his personal feelings for Sarah and his professional duty, Rudy sought counsel from Deck and bruiser. Ultimately, he decided that the information was too meaningful to ignore, even if it meant sacrificing his relationship with Sarah.

Milo Callaghan commented, “I think part of him knows [it will cause them to break]. I think he makes a half-hearted attempt to cover for her at one point with Bruiser, and I think that’s his last-ditch effort to really sort of save his relationship. But I don’t know if he’s so much as betraying Sarah as fighting for what he believes to be right and true.”

She awoke in a deserted summer camp from Melvin’s childhood, where she discovered another victim of his crimes. (An independent autopsy confirmed she died of an overdose.)
