After Cam returns and discovers his things are gone, Allie walks into town and hitches rides until she is far away from Wheelock. She gets drunk in a bar, where she meets and dances with a cowboy, eventually sleeping with him that night. She realizes sexual satisfaction is possible with someone she doesn’t know or like; she cries afterward.

Cam looks through the house devoid of his things and feels more frustration that Mia has left him than Allie. He finds the stained-glass panel wrapped in newspaper and tucked away in the bathroom and accepts that Mia has truly left and he owes something to Allie. He hangs the panel back up in the bedroom. He spends the next day tracking down and buying back his belongings.

Opening arguments commence for Jamie’s case, and Allie is missing. Audra notes that, despite the heartrending circumstances, Jamie still willfully committed murder. Graham asserts that it is impossible to divorce context from the act and that Jamie’s act was one born from grief and love.

Hugo Huntley is the first witness for the prosecution, and he reveals that Jamie’s skin was found underneath Maggie’s fingernails, possibly explaining the scratches that were then present on his cheek.
