In Chap­ter 91 of “We Solve Mur­ders,” ten­sion esca­lates dra­mat­i­cal­ly as Susan tells Jeff that she may have to call the police, pos­ing the ques­tion of whether he would pre­fer to han­dle the sit­u­a­tion him­self. In a moment of con­fronta­tion, Amy, wish­ing for her pre­vi­ous safe­ty, finds her­self mir­ror­ing Jeff’s actions when he pulls a gun on her. Both are locked in a stand­off with guns drawn, while Susan insists on call­ing the author­i­ties, a plea met with a firm refusal from both.

Amy reflects inter­nal­ly, con­sid­er­ing how Steve would nav­i­gate this cri­sis, feel­ing the pres­sure of her train­ing align­ing with Jef­f’s, lead­ing to a stale­mate. As Jeff accus­es her of being involved with Max High­field, Amy tries to deflect blame back onto Jeff, assert­ing that he had the pow­er to stop the sus­pi­cious pay­ments to High­field. The dynam­ic shifts as Amy adopts a new strat­e­gy, focus­ing on her own deci­sion-mak­ing rather than defer­ring to Steve.

She bold­ly accus­es Jeff of orches­trat­ing a cov­er-up, sug­gest­ing that he manip­u­lat­ed the sit­u­a­tion to shield him­self from the ram­i­fi­ca­tions of their actions. Ten­sion mounts as Amy ques­tions the legal­i­ty of the pay­ments to High­field, seek­ing con­fir­ma­tion from Susan. When Susan offers to check the files for ver­i­fi­ca­tion, time runs short; Amy takes dras­tic action and shoots Jeff in the leg while he protests his inno­cence.

In the chaos that fol­lows, Amy swift­ly binds Jeff’s hands and declares they will be leav­ing togeth­er while warn­ing Susan of dire con­se­quences if the police arrive. Jeff, clutch­ing his leg in pain, tries to deny Amy’s accu­sa­tions but is met with her deter­mined resolve. As she takes con­trol of the sit­u­a­tion, she embod­ies the deci­sive action from Jeff’s train­ing check­list, mark­ing a piv­otal turn in the nar­ra­tive.

The ensu­ing min­utes promise to reveal crit­i­cal truths as Amy pro­gress­es with her plans, set­ting the stage for fur­ther rev­e­la­tions and con­fronta­tions.

In Chap­ter 91 of “All the Col­ors of the Dark,” Saint embarks on a mis­sion to show­case Patch’s tal­ent as a painter, reach­ing out to var­i­ous news out­lets from Cam­den Coun­ty to Dade. With per­sis­tence, she con­vinces reporters to come and view the works of this young artist who rep­re­sents more than just images but the life of a pos­si­bly imag­i­nary girl. The nar­ra­tive shifts to her inter­view with Daisy Crea­son from the Mon­ta Clare Tri­bune, where Saint dodges ques­tions about the iden­ti­ty of the girl in the paint­ings, fab­ri­cat­ing promis­es to ensure cov­er­age.

As the antic­i­pat­ed show­case nears, Saint arrives ear­ly to the event, observ­ing Patch prepar­ing for the night while Misty dec­o­rates the venue. Despite ques­tion­ing if Patch’s moth­er will attend, Sam­my, a local, express­es his dis­dain for Patch’s refusal to sell his works, reveal­ing the ten­sions between the artist’s ambi­tion and imme­di­ate real­i­ty. The gath­er­ing fills with famil­iar faces—locals, reporters, and city residents—each wrestling with their per­cep­tions of art and life.

Amidst the crowd, Saint encoun­ters Jim­my Wal­ters, who awk­ward­ly attempts to impress her with anec­dotes about his fer­ret. This inter­ac­tion reveals casu­al friend­ships punc­tu­at­ed by deep­er, unspo­ken emo­tions, which shade the chap­ter as Saint reflects on her bond with Patch. Although she receives a prom invi­ta­tion from Jim­my, her thoughts remain fix­at­ed on Patch, who soon finds her out­side amidst the glow of the stars.

Their con­ver­sa­tion brings light to Patch’s strug­gles and inse­cu­ri­ties regard­ing his bur­geon­ing tal­ent as an artist. Although he grap­ples with feel­ings of unwor­thi­ness, Saint reas­sures him about the pow­er of shar­ing his paint­ings with the world, sug­gest­ing his works might res­onate with peo­ple. As the night unfolds, Patch begins mak­ing impor­tant connections—his first sale is a sig­nif­i­cant mile­stone, even as he holds onto his most per­son­al work, “Grace Num­ber One.”

The chap­ter crescen­dos with themes of art, iden­ti­ty, and con­nec­tion, envelop­ing Saint and Patch in a nar­ra­tive inter­laced with hope, dreams, and the chal­lenge of self-dis­cov­ery. As the night con­cludes, reflec­tions upon cre­ativ­i­ty and poten­tial linger as Saint admires the paint­ings, con­tem­plat­ing their sig­nif­i­cance and the jour­ney ahead for both her and Patch.
