Part 3, Chapter 1 Summary

On her first day back, Sloane thinks that the house feels empty without Brady. She knows that Brady died in a swimming accident and that it was so traumatic for her that they had to erase the memory. Sloane’s handler Kevin picks her up for school. Kevin assures her that her emptiness will fade because her brain will repair itself from the loss of memory.

At lunch, a girl named Lacey sits with Sloane. Lacey tells Sloane that she focused on recovery when she first got to Sumpter High, but now that she has integrated into society, she wonders about her missing memories. As they leave for class, Lacey tells Sloane to get Kevin to bring her to the Wellness Center at night so that they can hang out more.

Part 3, Chapter 2 Summary

At dinner, Sloane tells her parents that she made a friend named Lacey. Sloane’s mother does not ask questions about Lacey, but looks away, which Sloane finds strange. At the Wellness Center, Lacey introduces Sloane to her boyfriend, Evan, and their friend, Liam. Lacey tells her that Liam is not a returner, but he is not depressed. Liam asks her about what happened in The Program. This makes Sloane uncomfortable, but Liam says he knew Evan before The Program, and he is curious about what happens in the facilities.
