Chapter 45 Summary

Danny listens to Amy’s testimony and gets a good feeling about her. Amy returns home, thinking about the interview. Danny shared Charlie’s Pyxis printouts with her, and what Amy saw confirmed that Charlie was at fault. She drinks wine and tries to reconcile the Charlie she knows with what she saw on the Pyxis sheets, especially struggling with how much she trusted Charlie and the extent to which he betrayed that trust.

Chapter 46 Summary

Tim and Danny drive to Amy’s house, discussing her and her reaction to the data. When they arrive, they tell her everything that they know and suspect and then ask her to look over the Pyxis printouts. Amy comments on how odd it is that Charlie has so many drug orders and provides context for his inappropriate use of digoxin. When the detectives share some of the hospital’s efforts to hide the truth, Amy tells them about Cerner, the patient data portal that also has vital information. Ultimately, the detectives ask her to go undercover, continuing a relationship with Charlie and keeping it a secret from the hospital. Their talk is interrupted by a call from Mary, during which she asks Amy to tell her if the detectives contact her.
