Detective Rodriguez arrives at Melrose and tells David he knows Ella hired a private detective to break into Sydney's apartment. He orders him to tell him what he knows or he will be found charged for obstruction of justice. David says he hates the person who hurt Sydney and explains she helped him a long time ago. He remembers when Sydney found him when he was crying at his mother's gravestone. She introduced herself to him and asked if he wanted to grab some breakfast. Later, they went back to her place where they made love.

Rodriguez asks David to tell him he wasn't with Ella the night when Sydney was murdered. David says he was with her. The detective threatens to find out where he is getting his money from if he doesn't cooperate.
