Physical Items
Grasshopper Print
Observation #1
This is the key to decoding the answer to Jasper's riddle in his letter.
Observation #2
Use a radian circle to discover the correct letters.
See Figure 1

Jewelry Box
Observation #1
It is empty.
Observation #2
It is noted in the inspector notes about the shiny finish being almost like a mirror.
- The jewelry box can be used to read the scanned journal page.
Letter from Jasper
Observation #1
The puzzle at the bottom of the letter can be solved using the accompanying grasshopper print and a radian circle.
Observation #2
Once deciphered, the answer to the riddle reads:
- HANDS
Observation #3
"HANDS" is the password for one of the hidden archives on the Listening Friends of America website.
Letter from Sylvia
Observation #1
Sylvia hopes Jasper is released soon, as if he has not committed a heinous crime that caused him to be locked up.
Observation #2
There is a hidden code in the bottom-right corner of this letter.
- Sylvia references "rail fence" in the letter, which is the name of the cipher used to decode this message.
Observation #3
Once decoded, the message reads:
- "I'VE FOUND A WAY"
Observation #4
As noted in the inspector notes, the letter was not damaged during the incoming process. This means any messages on Sylvia's letters are from Jasper, not Sylvia.
- Does this mean Jasper has found a way to break out?
Listening Friends of America Letter
Observation
Why does Meg feel the need to insist we're not in danger?
- Does she know something she's not letting on?
Memo from Sheriff
Observation #1
According to this memo, Dr. Cortes gave the sheriff a full tour of the grounds.
Observation #2
In the accompanying note from Felix, it is revealed that Dr. Cortes does not have full access and would be unable to do this. Also, Dr. Cortes is not very talkative.
- Did Dr. Cortes lead the sheriff on a faux "full tour" and appear amiable in order to steer the sheriff away from Felix's concerns?
- If so, why would she do so?
Note from Felix
Observation
Felix seems suspicious of Dr. Cortes and wonders how she gave the sheriff a "full tour" of the compound.
- Dr. Cortes does not have the ability to do so due to limited access.
Photo of Desk
Observation
This is a photo of Meg's desk at work, as revealed in her inspector notes.
Scanned Journal Page
Observation #1
Why is everything written backward?
Observation #2
This is a page from Jasper's journal according to the inspector notes.
Observation #3
The writing can be read by holding the page either in front of the jewelry box or a full-sized mirror.
- The horseman sketch tells us which hidden archive on the Listening Friends of America website can be accessed this episode.

- LFoA Letter: A letter explaining that our new initiative is not the result of anything worth concern. I tried to be lever with an analogy of photography.
- Patient Letter: It looks like Jasper is attempting humor, which is a good thing, but his punchline reminds me of geometry or trig class.
- Picture of My Desk: I thought that our listening friend would appreciate learning a little bit more about me and how I work.
- Letter from an Outside Friend (Sylvia): Again, it appears that everything is fine with this letter. Except that it has gotten damaged somehow. But I do not think it was like that when it came through IA inspection. Sylvia does like to go on about horses. What is the difference, I mean besides the obvious, between a stallion and a horseshoe?
- Metal Box: What a shiny finish. It is almost like a mirror. I suppose this is another trinket from Sylvia that he is unloading.
- Grasshopper Print: I like this print. A grasshopper, letters, and a circle are all connected in some way. I suppose Jasper made this in the old craft room.
- Page from Sketchbook: Jasper is such a talented artist. His journal looks like a page out of a notebook of Leonardo Da Vinci.
