Mind Games

Riggs holes up in a motel, unsettled and angry. Using his psychic gift, he watches a memory of Cora receiving the Bvlgari watch from John, mocking their love. Planning to steal another car, he’s caught off guard and arrested mid-shower.

In Kentucky, Sheriff Tate informs Lucy, Thea, and Rem of Riggs’s capture, adding that the police recovered stolen items and connected Riggs to a previous murder in Maryland. Although relieved, Thea and Rem know that nothing will bring their parents back. Lucy comforts them by sharing the story of how she met John and immediately loved him like a son.

Neighbors bring food and support. Lucy’s friend Leanne visits and tells Thea about her daughter Madrigal, who is Thea’s age. Thea is surprised to learn that Lucy had Cora at 16. Despite the company, Thea’s grief resurfaces when she tries to write in her journal. She talks with Lucy about love and confesses that she hopes to avoid it, at least for now.

The next morning, Thea gets up early, takes on farm chores, and prepares coffee for Lucy. As they talk over breakfast, Lucy explains that Waylon and Caleb are bringing the kids’ belongings. She also reveals that John and Cora named her as the executor of their estate and that Thea and Rem will inherit a significant sum.
