Elliot suggests that he should go with them. Chris tells Sandy to take Elliot with her. Chris says he will wait in the Carson house.

Rodney has a noticeable bruise on his left cheek where Lee had hit him. Scene 5: Back in the Carson house, Allison comes out of the kitchen into the livingroom carrying a tray of sandwiches for Chris Webber. But Chris has already gone outside. Allison goes outside and finds Chris waiting for her. Chris says, "I can't just sit around and wait for the phone to ring. She says, "Please come inside." He declines and angrily throws his cane. He has had an epiphany. Chris says, "All those years wasted in silence because I was afraid to remember the truth. I've got to look at it now. I've got to see it. She didn't do it. Ann Howard didn't push me." Allison says, "Do you realize what that will mean to her?" Chris says, "No, I can't tell her." Allison says, "Why not?" Chris says, "Promise me you won't." CARSON has replaced Mackenzie on the mailbox. Allison says, "Chris, go inside, I'll find your cane." Scene 6: Betty hears the door chimes ringing incessently. She wakens Steven.
