Faith has kept the café open, despite Geneva’s instructions to close. Darren wishes he had his uncles with him to help him figure out the case. He feels if the case were only about Missy, a white woman, then it would have already been solved. Darren is angry with Greg for telling him about Michael, yet not fully aiding him in solving the case. Randie continues to drink and becomes intoxicated. Darren talks to Faith, Wendy, and Huxley about the case. Isaac is still missing. Darren tells them about Keith’s full confession. The conversation turns to the alleged robbery where Joe Sweet was killed. Joe was left alone with Isaac, and the robbers entered around midnight. Isaac was outside with the trash when he heard two shots, and when he returned, the suspects he identified as three white men, were leaving. Darren wonders how Isaac knew the men were white. No one has spoken of the incident for six years, especially Geneva. Randie periodically mumbles throughout the discussion as she continues to drink and then must run outside to be sick. Darren and Randie stay the night in the trailer, both sleeping in the same bed. Randie asks him about his alcoholism, and he admits it did not start until Mack’s ordeal.
