he expects her to look in the desk

The brother thinks Anna will look in the **desk**.

Here's the reasoning: The brother knows Anna originally hid the note in the desk. He moved it to the shelf, but critically, *he doesn't know that Anna saw him* move it. So from his perspective, Anna still believes the note is where she left it—in the desk.

He has no reason to think Anna's belief has changed, so he expects her to look in the desk.

(The twist is that Anna actually *did* see him, so she'll really look on the shelf—but the question asks what the *brother thinks*, and he's operating on incomplete information.)
