When She Returned

NOW

Abbi storms off, and Scott tells Kate that he does not think she should move out. He suggests living together for a few months and possibly meeting with the family therapist he and Meredith saw before getting married. Scott hugs Kate, but Meredith feels sick, thinking she did not agree to marry Kate, too.

THEN

The chapter switches to Kate’s perspective. Kate sits with Shiloh, whose name means “his gift.” Labor was hard, but Kate feels like all her struggles were worth it for Shiloh. Margo, who is eight months pregnant, comes into the tent. Margo and Will practiced abstinence in their marriage, but Will encouraged Margo to break her abstinence and have sex with Abner. Margo only slept with Abner once, but she got pregnant. 

Abner comes in and greets his two “brides.” Margo is upset by the insinuation that she and Abner are married, but Abner says they will have a ceremony after Margo gives birth. He claims Will and Margo’s marriage was dissolved when they left their earthly lives. Kate does not care about their conversation, but Margo cries when Abner leaves.
