Synopsis/Details
The scene opens with Robyn reminiscing and sitting by a campfire. Her husband, Bruce, has left her and she feels that 'nothing is worse than the silence of friends'. Going back in time, Robyn and her daughter, Avery, return from a walk to find Peter, Robyn's brother-in-law, dead in a pool of blood on their kitchen floor. Robyn's 10 year old niece comes up unexpectedly from behind them, and upon seeing Father dead accuses them of killing him. Madison runs off hysterically screaming as Robyn calls 9-1-1 while Avery wonders they were accused. Returning to the opening campfire scene, two police and Bruce struggle to calm down a grief-stricken Robyn. Bruce quickly explains that it was Anna, Robyn's sister, who shot Peter and coerced Madison to blame Robyn. Bruce and Robyn are reunited in a hug as police report that Robyn has been found.
