Baker’s Bombshell: The Suspicious Silence of the Day After

Chapter 1: The Chronological Crime

The episode opened with the quiet, unsettling normalcy of the day after. Sunlight, weak and unwelcome, filtered through the mansion windows, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air—a mundane sight that felt like a chronological crime. If Luna had truly died hours earlier, the house should have been a screaming tableau of police tape, sirens, and immediate, hysterical grief. Instead, there was silence.

Will sat alone in the vast living room, nursing a cup of cold, forgotten coffee. He felt disconnected, haunted less by the definitive word “dead” that Baker had uttered, and more by the missing hours. Why the jump? Why did the narrative skip the immediate, chaotic aftermath—the scene investigation, the official identification, the raw, unfiltered terror that should have consumed the immediate dawn?

Suspicious much? The fan boards echoed the exact thought Will couldn’t shake.

Baker, the family physician who had been inexplicably present during the nighttime manhunt, had made the declaration: “She’s gone, Will. I’m so sorry. Luna is dead.” But the words, delivered with a sterile finality, hadn’t been backed by evidence. No ambulance. No police report confirming the demise. Just Baker’s professional opinion, offered in the thick, disorienting darkness.

Will felt a cold, hard knot of skepticism tightening in his gut. Baker was too practiced, too detached. He was a man accustomed to managing crises, not mourning them. And the time jump was the key clue.

What happened between 3 AM and 8 AM? That missing time was the secret the writers were hiding, and Will instinctively knew it held the truth that would destroy the lie.

Chapter 2: The Lack of Evidence

Driven by a grief that was rapidly calcifying into forensic determination, Will sought out the source of the pronouncement: Baker’s office.

Baker, expecting tears or angry despair, was instead met with cold, analytical questioning.

“Where is the body, Doctor?” Will demanded, standing stiffly beside the immaculate mahogany desk. “I understand the need for privacy, but my fiancée is declared dead, and there is no police involvement, no official coroner’s statement, and no body for me to identify.”

Baker fidgeted with a prescription pad, his composure visibly cracking under the pressure of Will’s quiet skepticism. “Will, I understand this is difficult. The local jurisdiction is remote. We had to use an independent service to handle the transfer—”

“Transfer where?” Will pressed. “To what morgue? You declared death at the scene, yet there was no immediate crime scene processing. You sent the body away, in the dark, without informing the family or the authorities. That is not procedure, Doctor. That is a cover-up.”

Baker finally lifted his gaze, his eyes sharp with warning. “I was following strict instructions, Will. Instructions designed to protect… other parties involved in the tragic circumstances of Luna’s disappearance.”

The admission confirmed Will’s fears. Luna wasn’t just dead; she was collateral damage in a legal conspiracy. Baker wasn’t a doctor in this scenario; he was a fixer.

Chapter 3: The Missing Hours

Will left Baker’s office with a single, undeniable conclusion: Luna was alive. The declaration of death was a carefully constructed legal barrier designed to end the search, secure the privacy of the guilty party, and close the case before the light of day exposed the truth.

He drove immediately back to the last known location of the search—the isolated stretch of coastal road where Luna had vanished. The scene was clean. Too clean. There was no disturbed earth, no broken glass, no sign of the frantic activity of a police investigation.

Will ignored the tidy landscape and began his own search, his architect’s eye for detail taking over. He walked the perimeter, focusing on the rough, uneven ground near the treeline, searching for inconsistencies Baker’s cleanup crew might have missed in the pre-dawn darkness.

And then he found it, partially concealed beneath a clump of wet moss: a small, silver medical tag, the kind used to identify patient property or specialized hospital equipment. It wasn’t the kind of tag used for a corpse; it was a tracking device, small and professionally coded.

Will scraped the dirt away, recognizing the unique, specialized font. It wasn’t standard public hospital equipment. It belonged to a private, high-end medical supplier—one often used by wealthy individuals who required discreet, high-level care outside the standard system.

And then Will remembered the previous fan theory—the suspicion that Remy, heartbroken and guilty, was the one who hit Luna and was hiding her. Remy, the son of a powerful man, who had access to private, shadow resources.

Will realized Baker hadn’t sent Luna to a morgue. Baker had organized her transfer to a hidden medical facility. Baker was not just protecting the driver; he was managing the medical care of the missing patient.

Chapter 4: The Coded Clue

Will contacted his own private investigator, Marcus, sending the image of the coded medical tag. Within the hour, the information was decrypted. The tag belonged to a discreet, private facility located hundreds of miles away—a luxury medical retreat owned by a shell company with direct, undeniable financial ties to Remy’s family trust.

The truth crystallized with terrifying clarity: Luna wasn’t dead. She had been severely injured, likely struck by a vehicle driven by Remy, and Baker, Remy’s family physician or fixer, had orchestrated the cover-up. The declaration of death was a legal fiction designed to buy Remy time and secure Luna’s silence.

Will felt a surge of cold, focused vengeance. The rage he had felt over the clumsy miscarriage subplot was nothing compared to the fury over the theft of his future and the calculated manipulation of his grief.

He called Baker’s office one last time, his voice a low, hard line of promise.

“Doctor, I know Luna is alive. I know she’s at the Oakhaven facility. You declared her dead to protect Remy from the consequences of striking her with his vehicle. You stole my final goodbyes and engineered a legal disappearance.”

Baker was silent on the other end, his earlier professional veneer completely gone.

“You have until midnight to contact the Oakhaven facility and tell them I am coming. If I arrive and she is not there, or if you attempt to interfere, I will release every detail of your medical malpractice and your conspiracy to the public and the authorities. You will lose your license, your career, and your freedom. The game is over, Baker. The dead woman is coming home.”

Will hung up. He looked out the window, no longer consumed by grief, but by a righteous, burning mission. The fans were right. Luna wasn’t dead.

And now, the real drama—the confrontation between vengeance, love, and professional betrayal—was finally beginning. Will would go to Oakhaven and bring Luna home, and he would destroy every person who had participated in the cruelest plot twist of all. The suspicious silence of the morning after had finally given way to the sound of inescapable reckoning.
