## Synopsis

A violent confrontation leads to new revelations, and the truth about Corinne's disappearance finally emerges.

## Plot

Katz's ex-wife, Leila, goes to his home, demanding to know where to find Olivia. Katz assaults Leila, who cries for help, and Johanna escapes to a neighbor. Katz takes Leila's car, in possession of Johanna's phone, and drives away. Peter tracks The Stranger (Christine Killane's) home address. Adam phones Johanna, reaching Katz, saying that The Stranger has been identified, and promising to text the location to Johanna's phone later, which he does on arrival at Christine's home address. Adam enters the apartment building, then is attacked and knocked unconscious by Ingrid. He wakes in The Stranger's apartment, chained to an anchored table. She tells of finding out later that her father had killed her mother. She also discloses that she learned that Killane (unbeknownst to him) is not her biological father, and that she is Adam's half-sister through an affair Ed Price had with her mother. Katz bursts in brandishing a gun and holding Ingrid hostage; he tosses Ingrid to the ground then shoots her in the stomach. Adam escapes from his chains and attacks Katz, but is overpowered. When Katz shoots at Adam, Christine jumps in front to take the bullet in her back. Police enter to take control of the situation. Johanna arrests Katz for Heidi's murder. Christine is hospitalized; Ingrid dies of her wounds. Christine admits to Adam that Bob, the football coach, had hired her to dig dirt on Corinne. Adam confronts Bob, and Bob tells Adam that Doug claimed Corinne stole the money from the football club and intended to pin the theft on him. Adam drives to Doug's house and confronts him about stealing the money and sending texts from Corinne's phone after her disappearance, pulling a gun that Christine passed to him in the hospital. In fear, Doug offers to take Adam to Corinne, who is in the countryside. Johanna visits the school to have Thomas use the phone tracker to locate Adam. On reaching the site, Doug admits to killing and burying Corinne, and Adam locates her body in a shallow grave. Adam shoots and kills Doug as Johanna arrives. In an epilogue set six months later, Johanna has reunited with Phillip after her retirement, and she attends one of Ryan's football matches; Ed also attends. Bob coaches, Dante films the match, Thomas and Daisy are an item, Christine has "absconded," and a flashback reveals that Johanna covered up the evidence of Adam's killing Doug and that she pinned Corinne's death (by Katz's gun) on Katz, who is due for sentencing. In the final scene, Christine is shown observing the football match from afar.
