“Do you need a friend, would you tell no lies
Would you take me in, are you lonely in the dark…”
~ Billy Squier.
October & November 1963.
Tony walks out on Liz. Meanwhile, April has become noticeably withdrawn. April’s mom, Anne, confronts her about quitting all after-school activities and blames her changed behavior on Patrick. After April storms off, she turns on Reverend Larsen and curses Colleen who takes up so much of his time at the church. The Pastor reminds her that when they arrived in town everyone welcomed them with open arms, and suggests to his wife that they should do the same.
Colleen arrives in LA just as Liz suffers a terrible accident and loses her baby. Colleen phones Gus and confides that maybe it’s for the best, which Liz overhears. Back in St. Louis, Frank checks in on Ms Allen and learns about her cancer diagnosis.
Meanwhile, Anne and the Pastor invite Gus and Patrick over for dinner with Colleen out of town. Gus hesitates but agrees. During dinner, April invites Patrick to join her for a walk and shares about when her younger brother died and how difficult it was to get over his loss.
