## Season 1

### Newark, NJ

Amy returns home from work. She tells him that it’s time to leave for the group grieving meeting. However, Brian no longer wishes to attend despite the fact that Amy had to take off work to make time for it. The doctor said it would help for them to meet people also mourning the loss of a child. However, in Brian and Amy’s case, their kid isn’t dead, Tabitha is merely missing. Nevertheless, Amy decides to go to the meeting by herself.

Tommy welcomes Amy to the group therapy session. She reveals that her daughter, Tabitha, wanted to be a ballerina. She was only eight years old and wanted a pair of brown ballet shoes. But their dance store only carried pink. And so Brian would take a brown sharpie and color them in. Tabitha wore them everywhere and Brian would color them in over and over. And now that Tabitha’s missing, all they have is a bunch of brown sharpies.

Amy gets a call from Officer Clayton, who informs her that they followed up on the license plate they got from Brian. Unfortunately, it was a dead end. Just as Amy starts the car, she thinks that she sees Tabitha running past in her rear view window. Amy follows her into a homeless den, where she finds the head of an angel in a shopping cart.

Amy returns home and throws away all the brown markers. Brian returns home and questions why. Amy claims that Tabitha is dead. She has a feeling and had been thinking about it for a while. Brian refuses to give up on her and insists that she’s coming back.

Amy is called down to the station after Brian is arrested for trespassing. The neighbors saw him snooping around and called the police. They had already looked into the plates. The owner, Bill Deckhart, wasn’t even in town when Tabitha went missing. Given that their car had been impounded, they ride home with Tommy from the grief group. Amy tells him that he can’t behave so recklessly, but Brian refuses to sit around doing nothing. She reminds him that they’re on the same side. She never points fingers when he drinks himself to sleep or spends a fortune on Christmas gifts. And when he was too torn up to go to work, she agreed to go to work for the both of them, but she can’t continue to do so. She then reveals that she’s having an affair with Tommy. She tells Brian to fight for her, but he can’t. Because if he does, then their daughter is dead.

Brian carries an angel home and lays her in Tabitha’s bed. Amy examines the wound. They’re unsure of what to do with the angel. Amy wonders why the angels came. Brian replies maybe God threw them out of the sky and heaven is a dark place. However, Amy thinks the angel came to help them. Brian and Amy sleep at the angel’s bedside. They awaken to find her making an odd noise. She dips her nail into her wound and feeds them both a drop of blood. The effects are instantaneous. Brian begins to come to terms with that fact that Tabitha isn’t coming home, and he questions what the rest of their life will look like. Amy reminds him that they’re still a family. But he knows it’ll never be the same without Tabitha. She then tells Brian to take the tree down. When he refuses, she destroys the Christmas tree herself, along with the presents.

Brian asks Amy about her affair with Tommy and whether or not he was good. She replies that he was and that they had sex in the house. Brian becomes enraged. He finds Tommy in the middle of a grief group session and punches him. When Brian returns home, Amy wraps his hand and recalls when they saw *Galaxy Quest* 20 years ago. She remembers thinking that she wanted Brian to hold her hand, and he did. Brian tells Amy that he’s loved her from the start, and they kiss. They proceed to get undressed and have sex on the living room floor. The angel creeps down the steps. She crawls over the couch and slits her throat, spewing her blood all over Brian and Amy. The two of them suddenly find themselves sitting in the audience of a theater. The curtains go up, and Tabitha is the sole ballerina performing on stage. They hold hands and watch as she dances across the stage.
