As they begin their investigation, the Mystery Diners team uncovers some surprising information about Jackson and his behavior. They discover that he has been living in the restaurant and using the kitchen as his personal apartment. He has also been rewriting the specials menu to include expensive items that he knows will sell well, but pocketing the extra money for himself.
