## Synopsis

Danny wakes up the day after his conversation with Robert. He begins packing and plans on leaving. Robert returns from his morning kayak trip, collapses on the beach, and dies. The Rayburn family starts making arrangements for a small funeral service, and Sally asks John to speak a few words on everyone's behalf. John and Sally have a late night drink and talk about Robert's childhood. Sally tells John that Robert never spoke about his childhood because he didn't want anyone feeling sorry for him. When John presses her, she reveals that Robert had a very abusive childhood, and she clarifies that he never finished high school because he left home after stabbing his father with a grilling fork after his father had abused Robert's stepmother. Robert didn't kill his father, but he was sure he would if he continued to stay in the house. Tensions run high between Kevin and Belle at the funeral service, and Robert's friend Detective Lenny Potts makes an appearance. Detective Potts was with the local Sheriff's department during John's childhood but had since then moved on. John delivers the eulogy to great praise. Kevin and Belle argue, and Belle leaves soon afterward. Things come to a head between Meg and Alec on the phone, and Meg tells him never to call her again. Kevin, Meg, and Marco go to a bar and run into Danny, Eric, and Chelsea. John sits down with Detective Potts to discuss the case of the two dead girls. Potts points him towards an old case he worked on which had similar elements. John asks Potts why he and his father fell out years before. Kevin makes his way to Belle's house from the bar, to apologize. The two share an understanding embrace. John visits the archives and retrieves the findings of the old case Potts spoke of. In the process, he decides to review the files related to Danny's injury during their childhood. Detective Potts meets up with Danny at the inn and apologizes to him for not doing his job when Danny got injured as a child. He tells Danny that he knew Robert had assaulted him, but he couldn't prove it. He also reveals to Danny that he interviewed the Rayburns in an effort to find the truth about his "accident". John discovers transcripts of the interviews Potts conducted with Danny's siblings as children. However, the audio cassettes of the interviews are not in their cases. Potts hands over the interview tapes to Danny before leaving.
