Lucy reflects on watching Sam over the past few weeks. At first she felt sorry for Sam, knowing what it meant to not have a home. But when Lucy saw Sam come in carrying a knife, she leapt to Oliver’s defense instinctively. She knew from past experience that if you can prompt someone to violence, you can have them arrested; she attempted the same technique with Sam, but found her body less resilient than it once was.
Now, as Oliver comes to check on her, Lucy remembers returning to Mallow Island when she was released from prison, hoping to reconnect with him as a boy. She reflects on her childhood, ostracized by Lizbeth and her mother and abused by her father. She was unable to find Lizbeth and Oliver until Frasier found her and gave her a place to stay. In an effort to protect Oliver, she remained close while keeping her distance. Oliver announces that he’s staying in the Dellawisp.
