Just read the Bahama Journal. Shelley said the two pills flushed came from Danny's jeans. We're assuming they are the ones Danny was wearing. Regardless, I think that Howard simply palmed them...that they came from Howard's pocket...that the little act he performed for Shelly was deliberate....and he screwed up because some of them fell out into the bed Howard was sleeping in. AND THEY COULD HAVE BEEN "BATCH MATCHED"????
WHEN did Howard take them out of Daniel's pants? Only Shelley was present? How can that be? We need the entire scene.
So, I'm guessing that this event occurred AFTER the nurse found the two pills in Howard's bed and Howard found out about it.
If Shelley was such an enemy...Why was he at the hospital at all?
