In the previous episode, Logan Delaney (Conor Merrigan Turner) submitted a video to the authorities implicating Stan as a potential murderer.
The footage, taken from a CCTV camera on one of his boats, captured Stan carrying a heavy object wrapped in a plastic bag on the night of Joy's disappearance, presumably to dispose of it in the ocean.
