Previously on Starstruck...

Shannon posed as a journalist to gain access to Jake's family home. In his bedroom, she discovered old lyrics and a password-protected folder of old chat logs.

Gabe was in a secret relationship with Rachel, and Jake ignored Marcus when he needed help. The rumors of a fifth band member got more interesting with a napkin contract, and in his journal, Jake mentioned an altercation when he let slip his plans for a solo career. Shannon feels torn between the ideal of her beloved band and the search for the truth, but she keeps digging for answers.

• Based on evidence from this episode and a previous one, can you determine who wrote the letter?

Band Interview

• How did the remaining band members feel in the wake of Jake's solo career?
• Do their answers match the actions presented in the other pieces of evidence?

Business Card

• Is Rachel the one sending or receiving the message? Calling the number on the card might provide the answer.

Reveals

Amends Letter

• Comparing the handwriting of this letter to the handwritten lyrics of Episode 3 shows this letter was also written by Marcus. Instead of writing a true amends letter, Marcus merely uses it as an excuse to vent his frustration out on Jake. "Amends Letters" are a key part of therapy outlined in the facility pamphlet.

Band Interview

• The boys dodge quite a few questions in their interview, and while they all might seem happy for Jake's success on the surface, it's clear they're all hiding some undisclosed feelings.

Business Card

• Calling the number reveals that Rachel was in contact with Spill the Beanz.

CD Booklet

• Lining up the CD sleeve with the text about Track 12 in the booklet reveals a message from Ollie: "you think you can abandon us watch your back".

CD Case and Sleeve

• Place the sleeve over the CD booklet to reveal a hidden message from Ollie.

News Article Collage

• Ollie has been involved in several high-profile controversies, both while he was in J4F and after the band split up.

Sobriety Coin

• The connection to the facility pamphlet, the handwriting of the amends letter, and the fact that this was in the band's trailer reveals Marcus was the one in rehab.

Website/J4F Forum

• The timestamp of the loud noise is 1:30. This confirms Gabe's statement that he was in his trailer during Jake's accident.
