They trace it back to a hotel room where a woman, Miranda Nickleby, lives with her son. The woman claims that it was her son making prank calls and apologizes. April leaves, feeling better. When she runs into Richard at the store she owns, she apologizes for canceling. He tells her to make it up to him by taking him out on a date. She agrees. That night, she is surprised when Miranda shows up at her house with her son. Miranda explains that she was the one making the calls and that she kept hanging up without speaking because of how nervous she was to talk to her.
