Sarah is released from the hospital. At her home, she wonders why Lily, her sister, has not replied yet to her Facebook message. Sarah has not seen Lily in three years. Lily left home around the same time their parents’ marriage abruptly ended. Sarah senses Lily told her mother something ominous about their father, but when she questions her mother, Sarah’s mother avoids the topic as always. Lily used to want to go to art school. Now, Sarah has gathered from social media, she lives in a religious commune with dyed-pink hair. Sarah leaves Lily another message, stating that she fears their father has something to do with Anna’s disappearance.
Matthew and his wife, Sally, have a baby girl. An awestruck Matthew cannot stop staring at his wife and daughter. Now that he is a father, Matthew feels his line of work affects him differently. For instance, now he feels a greater pang when he sees Anna’s pictures on Facebook, and he experiences a twist in his gut every time he thinks of the pain of her mother, Barbara.
