Jane looks back to the most crucial scene she wrote for her TV series in the next episode of “Ten Days in the Valley.”

According to the synopsis for Season 1, episode 7 of the ABC series, Jane (Kyra Sedgwick) and Bird (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) revisit the scene of the casita raid that might have triggered the kidnapping of Lake (Abigail Pniowsky).

In Season 1, episode 5, Gus (Francois Battiste) revealed to Jane that it was actually the cops, not the Armenians, who raided the casita run by a Latino gang. The police killed three people in the encounter. And even though Gus told Jane not to use that information on her cop show, Jane didn’t listen and used it anyway.

Later that episode, Jane learned that Gus got hurt because she didn’t listen to him. “I call in a takedown, I don’t get back-up. I radio for help, they don’t come,” Gus explained of why he had bruises on his face. “You’re telling the Casita story. They don’t want it out there which means they’re gonna stop you, and then they’re going to punish me. This is happening because you told the truth. The more you talk, the worse it gets. You gotta stop it. Just shut it down.”

At the end of the episode, Jane rushed to the writers’ room and attempted to change the story. But because the production would be behind schedule if they would follow Jane’s request, the network pushed through with the original plan and even fired Jane from her own show.

In the promo photos for episode 7, Jane takes Bird to the set of the casita scene. Matt joins the pair on the set and appears to reenact the pivotal moment.

Elsewhere in the next episode, Ali (Erika Christensen) learns some surprising news about Tom (Josh Randall). While the synopsis doesn’t reveal what Ali discovers about her husband, she probably finds out that Tom is writing a story about Lake’s disappearance.

Also in the upcoming hour, Jane discovers a shocking development about Gus, who has been nowhere to be found since the last episode.

“Ten Days in the Valley” Season 1, episode 7, titled “Breaking the Story,” airs on Saturday, Dec. 23 at 10 p.m. EST on ABC.
