Ernie sees Sofia looking around the maintenance shed where the body is being kept. Sofia feels someone might be inside; they notice the door’s padlock lying in the snow. They enter and find someone is indeed in the shed.
Erin is the person they find in the shed. Ernie recalls the infertility problems they had during their marriage. She and Ernie discuss Michael and his story about Alan Holton; Ernie is still skeptical that Michael is telling him the complete truth. Sofia joins them in discussing the body in front of them. Sofia believes that the man was suffocated with a bag that contained ash being placed over his head. They are interrupted by Officer Crawford.
Ernie is finally able to look inside the truck. It contains a casket. A mark on the casket lets Ernie know that it belongs to Alan Holton’s partner, the man who killed Ernie’s father.
