Susan flashes back to her painful breakup with Edward. He begs her to stay, arguing,”When you love someone you work it out … You might never get it back.” 

In Edward’s book, Andes and Tony abduct Ray and Lou. After several violent altercations, the criminal pair make a break for it. Andes kills Lou in cold blood. As Susan reads the gunshot, a bird flies into her glass window, dead.

Susan flashes back to getting an abortion. Though the pregnancy is the result of liaison with Edward, she goes to the clinic with Hutton. While he comforts her in the car, Susan sees a pained Edward watching them.

In the book, Tony Hastings is beside himself at Lou’s death. “I’m glad that you shot him! I’m glad that he’s dead,” he screams, but then breaks down in grief over his wife and daughter. Andes and Tony split up to find Ray. Tony finds him in the trailer where he raped and murdered his beloved Laura and India. After much toying, Ray admits the disgusting things he did and his complete lack of regret. As Tony finds the resolve to shoot him, Ray reveals a fire poker he’d hidden under a pillow.
