Mother Daughter Murder Night

Jack comes home and tells her mother and grandmother that she is no longer a suspect. Beth is excited, but Lana still wants to figure out what happened. Jack tells Lana that the detective had Beth take all of the Maglites out of the first aid kits. Only five of the six kits contained a Maglite; Paul said one of them got lost. Lana wonders how far the body could have floated. 

Later, Jack and Lana are outside, and Jack explains that her mother made a labyrinth with stones as a way of healing. They discuss the nickname Prima, and Lana explains that she likes the nickname because leading ladies are powerful, but other people often see them as demanding. She believes that powerful women know their worth. Lana tells Jack that Beth supports other people, but Lana believes a person must love herself the most. She clarifies: “Of course I love you. Your mom too. But I don’t think for a second you’re what makes me strong. I’m strong because I go after what I want. A Prima. Like you” (122). Jack responds that her mom made everything they see and that Beth and Lana are more alike than they believe.
