Although she managed to shoot and kill Sheriff Kees and two officers, Kaitlin can't say to be safe. While 911 is taking care of the wounded, six police cars are chasing after her. Suddenly, she feels her hands trapped. Three agents are blocking her path and another one is attempting to put handcuffs on her.

Nonetheless, she manages to get rid of them and throws the handcuffs at the agent who tried to link her hands to that damned instrument, hurting him. She takes advantages of the general confusion to steal his pistol and points it at her eyes.

Kaitlin: See? This is what I've been dealing with all my life. Everyone else wanted to see me closed in a room, behind bars, all because I'm fucking different. You didn't want to open up to me because I wasn't normal to you! Well, it's high time this fucking shit stopped!

An agent wants to make her reason and orders her to return the gun, but she disobeys and instead keeps rambling.

Kaitlin: Where do you want to send me? To jail? To a mental facility? Do you think being bipolar is a walk in the park? Well, why don't you just try to be in my shoes for once? Why can't you see I'm struggling?

???: Mrs Harlan, please hand me the pistol or there will be consequences!

Kaitlin: Oh... you say there will be consequences? Get ready to see them, then. I knew you idiots wouldn't understand. This world sucks. Life sucks.

She shoots at her eyes, then her throat, and lastly her heart. The last wound makes her drop right at the officers' feet, who stare at her horrified. Her limp body is now covered with blood. Blood stains are also on the street.

The punishment her relatives, including Leigheanna, have longed for for many years, seems to have finally come.

Leigheanna and Rowan are lying in bed, in the summer house rented by Taylor. Just the two of them, their bodies clutched close to each other, her head on his chest.

Even though they've known each other for less than a month, they seem to have found affinity and are now close. Not as in a real relationship, but, as of now, they're definitely more than just friends.

Leigheanna: Can you believe this? From a couple of calls here and there, to a couple of nights together. What do you think?

Rowan: That we're together because of you. Seriously. I'll never forget the day you called me out of the blue. I thought it'd be a stalker, but, now, you're the only stalker of my heart.

He kisses her forehead, making her blush and giggle. She's so used to this effect. She took a lot of time to realize this, but she is falling in love.

Leigheanna: I can't believe I'd be saying this. Seriously.

Rowan: What do you mean?
