Maud notices a pinch mark on Helen. Maud knows she’s looking for someone or something, but she can’t remember what or who; Helen reminds her that it is Elizabeth. Maud starts tearing up plants in the garden. Helen stops her from tearing up one that Helen planted with her father. Maud notices glasses and jars stacked in the front yard and finds herself thinking about Elizabeth’s collectibles. Maud wanders away and sees that the Station Hotel—where Sukey’s suitcase was found—is now a nursing home.

Maud recalls going to the Station Hotel with the letter Sukey sent Douglas in her pocket after Sukey went missing. She wondered if Douglas and Sukey met there to have an affair. When she saw a woman behind a door in a hotel room, for a moment she thought it was Sukey. The woman went into the bar and explained that there was a young girl acting strangely. When Frank emerged from the bar, Maud wondered if he knew about Douglas and Sukey and how he must have felt when he found out. She suspected that Sukey had told Frank about the affair, based on the letter and the way that Frank talked about Douglas.
