Claire goes to central park with her two children to make a path of stone stacks as a small memorial for her husband. She is worried that the majority of families who lost loved ones will protest the Garden because of it's designer's religion. The charge is already being led under the leadership of Sean Gallagher.
At a speech in a high-school auditorium, both Sean and Governor Bitman address a crowd of surviving family members. The Governor tells them that even though the jury has decided, the public still may weigh in. When Sean goes up on stage, he specifically calls out Claire for not properly representing the family members. Claire then steps out of the crowd. She takes the stage and addresses the issue and defends the Garden, without bringing up Khan.
Clarie runs into Edith, Sean's mother, once she comes off stage. Edith catches Claire off guard and makes her feel very uncomfortable. Claire is then mobbed by Alyssa Spier. She avoids the reporter by quickly dashing to her car. She heads home, worried that Cal won't get his proper memorial.
Alyssa watches helplessly as Mo reveals himself as the winner of the memorial competition during a press conference hosted by the MACC. While she initially the mystery Muslim, he was no longer a mystery, thus Alyssa lost her advantage in the press.
To combat this, she researches Khan's associates. She comes across Thomas Kroll. She visits his house where she interrogates him for all he knows. He personally was offended when he found out because Mo never told of his plan. His wife, Alice, is pissed because she's afraid that the publicity will put their family at risk. Despite Alyssa's biased prying, Thomas remains steadfast in his support of his friend. Other reporters find out about Kroll but Alyssa tells them not to bother, trying to maintain the advantage.
