Donna goes to the Double R Diner the next day and meets with Maddy. Maddy then informs her that Leland's hair has turned white. Donna calls Norma Jennings and expresses interest in taking over Laura's volunteer route for Meals on Wheels. Starting on the route, Donna goes to the home of an elderly woman named Mrs. Tremond, who tells her about her suspicious neighbor, Harold Smith, and reveals that he was friends with Laura. Donna knocks on Smith's door, but he does not answer so she leaves him a note. He calls her that night, and they arrange to meet the next day. The next morning, she goes to Harold's home and they talk about Laura before he goes to his greenhouse to get a flower for Laura's grave. She confides in Harold and starts to develop feelings for him. While looking at Harold's flowers, she discovers Laura's secret diary. While having lunch with Harold, Donna offers to tell her life story to him if she could read Laura's diary, but agrees but says that he will read it to her and that it can't leave the room. She snatches the diary and walks outside of Harold's house. He steps outside and collapses. Out of guilt, Donna apologizes and returns the diary. Still seeking answers to Laura's murder, Donna and Maddy set up a plan to steal the diary. She meets with Harold and discusses a memory she had with Laura when she was a kid where they went skinny-dipping with a group of older boys. She says that this experience was the first time that she fell in love, with one of the boys named Tim. Harold kisses her. When Harold leaves, Maddy goes inside to search for the diary. She tries to distract Harold while Maddy searches for the diary, but their plan is foiled.
