Alison Merritt's father carries the heavy burden of surviving the firefly collapse, and Abby Anderson carries the burden and grief of losing her dad. For years, Ali's resented the suffocating weight of Jerry Anderson's death between her and Abby, though for Ali, the real strain is at home. Ali's father is a slightly rigid, traditional retired patrolman whose homophobic views keep Ali living in a state of quiet and suffocating fear of the consequences of the truth. Abby, now Issac's top scar killer and Ali's dads favorite "protege", is always somewhere near-whether that be in her house eating dinner every once in a while, stopping by to chit-chat with her dad before patrols. She's one of the few people that know a truth that could change people's views and destroy relationships, especially her dads. The more Ali and Abby are around eachother, Ali realizes Abby's the only person that really gets her.
