Detective Prester assures Gwen that her children are fine. Prester shows Gwen the photo of the last woman Mel murdered—the one Gwen saw in their garage. This woman was Callie, Sam Cade’s younger sister. The two were mostly raised in different households and didn’t see each other for years, but they got back in touch as adults when Sam was serving in the military in Afghanistan. He was looking forward to having more of a family when he returned home, but instead his sister was murdered. They had different last names, so Gwen didn’t recognize the connection. Gwen concludes that Sam must be stalking them. Prester says they are now looking into Sam as a murder suspect as well. Prester also seems to think that Sam and Gwen might have done the crimes together, but he says she’s free to leave.

Gwen takes her children, who are waiting at the station, into the car and drives toward home. Lanny wants access to the gun safe but Gwen won’t give it to her, although she does think maybe it’s time to teach her how to use guns safely. At home, Gwen’s garage has been vandalized with threats and insults, and there are two vehicles blocking her driveway: one belongs to the Johansens (her neighbors) and the other is full of several intoxicated men, one of whom Gwen recognizes as the man who caused trouble at the gun range.
