Brooke is agitated to learn that she’s not allowed to speak to Patrick. Chick, her husband, is furious that Myron saved Patrick but not Rhys. Myron feels sorry for Chick, who is aggressive and rude but clearly still grieving the loss of his son.
Myron goes to a coffee shop, where he receives a text from Terese saying that she’s interviewing for a prime-time anchor slot in Jackson Hole. Nancy Moore, Patrick’s mother, enters the coffee shop and thanks him for saving her son’s life. He asks if she’s sure that it’s Patrick, but she’s positive that it’s her son. Myron watches her leave and get into a van with her ex-husband Hunter. He and Win both think this is suspicious. They go to the hospital, and Myron tries to get permission to see Patrick. He is denied, so he barrels past the security guard. Patrick’s room is empty.
Brooke and Chick are furious. They discover that the Moore family is on a private plane back to the US. This is a contrast to Brooke’s past demeanor: She was criticized after the boys went missing, and perceived as too calm, which made the police suspicious of her and Chick.
