Finn leaves Chloe and returns to her dad, realizing hours have passed since Jack confronted Vance. Finn manifests in Vance’s 4Runner. They drive past where the Millers’ camper went through the guardrail and arrive at her grandfather’s cabin. Vance demands to know where Chloe is until Jack yields, revealing his intentions. Vance can see Chloe once Vance has returned to who he was before. Jack knows his daughter has a soft heart and refuses to let her see Vance in this condition. Vance accuses Jack of kidnapping, but Jack shows him the door, indicating that Vance can leave any time.
Finn returns to her mom, who’s at a local bar with Bob. They’re both drunk, which isn’t unusual for Bob. He drinks frequently, and Karen constantly irritates him. Ann soothes him. Eventually, Bob suggests they leave, so they walk across the street to a hotel.
Finn then visits Karen to see how she’s handling Bob’s absence. Karen is cleaning to keep herself distracted from thinking about the past. Finn knows that Karen is miserable and that her marriage is failing. Finn feels sorry for Karen, who was once family to her, and questions her right to judge Karen’s behavior. Finally, Bob comes home.
