Ruth is asleep and the house looks OK, but The Kid is there. Wendell makes it back too. Henry follows The Kid to the shed where The Kid shows him Alan. He says that Ruth was scared and confused and killed Alan. Wendell has called the cops and The Kid slips out the back. Wendell tells his dad about Ruth sending him out and that he slept in the church. Ruth confesses to shooting, but she thinks it was Matthew. He came back and she shot him to protect Henry & Wendell.

Henry has a run in with Officer Reese, but has pined the blame on The Kid. Reese blames him for all the bad things happening and says he is living up the the nickname he had as a kid, black death.
