You can learn a lot about a person by rummaging through the cassette case in their car. Robin gets a ride home from Mr. Hauser, hoping to put their last encounter behind her. Plus, she’s desperate for advice. She’s about to learn that Mr. Hauser’s taste in music surprisingly doesn’t suck. Neither does his advice. But the mystery of the anonymous caller takes an ominous turn.
