[The next morning, Jay Halstead wakes up, the previous night's unsettling texts from Hailey still fresh in his mind. He heads to his shift at the Riverdale Sheriff Station, hoping for a reprieve.]

[As he arrives, Kevin approaches him, a sense of remorse in his eyes.]

Kevin: (apologetic) Jay, I owe you an apology. I was out of line and acted cold. I'm sorry.

Jay: (nodding) Thanks, Kevin. Appreciate the apology.

[As their conversation continues, Hailey watches from a distance, her eyes filled with an unsettling intensity. When Jay notices her, he feels a chill running down his spine.]

Hailey: (confronting Jay maniacally) You think you can just move on, Jay? I won't let you forget.

Jay: (guarded) Hailey, this needs to stop. We're over.

Hailey: (smirking) We'll see about that.

[As Jay faces the looming threat from Hailey, he wonders how he can escape the shadows of his past that seem determined to haunt him in the small town of Riverdale. The morning shift takes a dark turn, setting the stage for further confrontations and revelations.]
