Simone noted that the john had been stabbed. Jessica recalled that Spike had given her a knife to keep with her for her protection. Simone found it on the floor and it was bloody. Jessica freaked out, but Simone suspected that Alistair may be behind the murder to set up Jessica as part of his vendetta to destroy the Bennett family.
