(Layla) I found something else in the diary.

"Today was the annual fall festival,

And I baked the perfect dutch apple pie,

But I wasted my time since I never ended up going.

I was visited by my good friend, psychiatrist dr. Fernando avila,

Who agreed to meet with Paul since he seemed to be.

In such a depressive mood ever since kaycee left.

Fernando said that Paul was suffering from a combination.

Of delusional jealousy and erotomania.

Where Paul believed that kaycee.

May have had strong feelings for him in return.

Once she left, his heart was broken,

And time will only tell how long it will take to mend.

Paul did apologize to me for his behavior,

"But I'm not sure I'll ever be able to recover."

I wonder if... if she knows how crazy he really is.

Oh, I found one more thing.

I was curious, so I looked up dr. Fernando avila,

And the only one that came up.

Passed away three days after the journal entry.

Listen to this:

"Investigators say dr. Fernando avila died.

From carbon monoxide poisoning from his gas-powered furnace.

At the time his body was found,

All carbon monoxide detectors were reportedly unplugged."

Oh, do you think Paul had something to do with that?

(Layla) maybe.

I do think there's something with kaycee.

That paul's holding onto.

That's why he won't let your aunt sell the house.

Maddie, he's hoping kaycee returns one day!
