By now, Amy has been missing for a full month, and Nick is facing arrest and the death penalty, but one morning, he experiences a sort of miracle. On the thirtieth day of the ordeal, Nick wakes up on his couch to the sounds of tires screeching outside. When he opens the door, Amy staggers out of Desi’s car and directly into his arms, giving the reporters on their front lawn a public, dramatic show.
Nick immediately confronts Amy, telling her he knows what she did, but she drags him into the shower and forces him to undress, just so she can be sure that he’s not wearing a wire. There, she tells him that he can’t possibly leave his wife so soon after she’s returned because his image will be forever ruined, especially now that she’s painted him as an abusive, thoughtless husband who blew their money on golf clubs and animatronic dogs. Nick turns to Tanner and Boney — who’s immediately suspicious of the odd inconsistencies in Amy’s story — but without a taped confession, they can’t help him, leaving Nick alone in his home with a vengeful murderer.
