Chapter 22 Summary

In the police precinct, Sage answers the officer’s questions, when Nolan walks in. He questions her about the timeline around the discovery of Alan’s body. He agrees that Alan’s killer is likely the same person who killed Rosemary and Evie, and that Alan has been dead for several days at least. She tells him about the previous night at the diner with Eddie. Suspicious, Nolan sends an officer to get a statement from the waitress. Though Sage refuses to talk to Baldwin, Nolan gets a phone call and tells her they must immediately return to Willowbrook—as a minor with no guardian, she has to go either with Social Services or with him.

On the drive into Willowbrook, Sage is worried that this is all a ruse to lock her up again. Nolan and Sage go to the delivery entrance. Baldwin meets them, asks why Sage is there, and takes them inside to tell Sage something about Eddie and to show Nolan something in the morgue—the corpse of Wayne Myers.

Chapter 23 Summary

Nolan questions Baldwin about events surrounding Wayne’s disappearance. However, admissions to the hospital and deaths on the premises are reported to general practitioners; as a psychiatrist, Baldwin has no knowledge of Wayne’s movements.
