- Taylor barges into Santangelo's dad's office and demands that he tell her who she reminds him of. He tells her that she reminds him of Narnie Schroeder, whom everyone called Narnie because when she was little, she couldn't say Hannah.
- Okay, that pretty much confirms that Hannah's story is the truth. Like we didn't have enough evidence already.
- Taylor tells Santangelo's dad what she's discovered about her relationship with Hannah and says that she wants to make contact with Fitz. He tells her that's impossible: Fitz is dead.
- When Taylor asks how he died, Santangelo's dad says he isn't at liberty to tell her. He does tell her, though, that Hannah is coming back for her, and that Taylor means everything to Hannah and Jude.
- Jude? Like, the Cadet? That Jude? So he's still floating around out there somewhere…
- Santangelo's dad disappears to answer the phone and Taylor is left alone in his office. She notices a drawing on the wall made by Santangelo and Raffaela when they were kids. She realizes she's seen it before and was in the police station sometime before Hannah found her at the 7-Eleven.
- Meanwhile, back in Hannah's manuscript…
- A week after Webb's disappearance, Narnie and Jude are hanging out by the river, watching police divers drag the river.
- They've been warned to stay away—after all, Narnie really doesn't need to see them fish her brother's body out of the river—but she refuses to leave.
- Meanwhile, Fitz is acting crazy. He keeps climbing to the top of the same branch and jumping into the water, then climbing the tree and doing it all over again.
- Jude tries to talk Fitz into chilling out and coming to sit with them, but he won't—he tells him to listen to the sound, and jumps in the water several more times.
- Fitz tells Jude that he went back for the fifth tin. Apparently he was shooting at them and missed one; when he walked away, he heard something hit the water and assumed it was a big bird.
- They never actually come out and say it, but what really happened is pretty clear to Jude: While he didn't mean to do it, Fitz shot Webb out of the tree.
- They stay by the river long after the divers have left, watching Fitz jump into the water again and again, until he collapses against Narnie in tears, apologizing for what he's done.
- Back in her own narrative, Taylor tells us a story of her own. When she was fourteen, she ran into the Hermit by the edge of the school's property on Jellicoe Road. She looked into his eyes and saw love that drew her to come with him.
- He showed her how to make a placemat out of thistles and they talked about how safe their dreams felt. The Hermit told her this was one of the best days of his life, then took out a gun.
- He whispered into her ear for her to forgive him and take care of his little girl, and then he told her to close her eyes and shot himself.
