After Ann leaves, Burns arrives at the cabin and tells Jack his suspicions about Bob. Burns senses the other man’s anger and warns Jack against confronting Bob. Jack agrees, knowing a conviction for negligent homicide is better revenge. Vance sits in the room, listening to Burns’s account based on Mo’s and Karen’s information. When Burns asks Jack if Oz was dangerous, Jack shakes his head and says Oz was just protecting Bingo. Vance speaks up and says Oz was big and strong, especially when he was angry. He then reminds them that Bob was in a stressful situation and couldn’t think rationally like they are now. Vance says Bob probably wishes he’d done things differently, symbolizing Vance’s feelings about leaving Chloe.
