When Sean realizes that Orvil is an Indigenous American, he asks him whether he can say “Indian.” Orvil tells him no one really uses that term anymore, instead referring to themselves by their tribe's name. Orvil also tells Sean that none of it really makes sense to him. Sean then asked Orvil whether he plays music and what kind of medication he's taking for his pain. When Orvil tells him that he doesn't have enough, Sean offers to give him something better that his dad makes in their basement.
Opal goes to the Friendship Center to connect with people in her community. while there, she is approached by Maxine, her mother's old friend. Maxine gives Opal the box that Victoria left for her daughters years ago. When she picks up Lony, she asks him how he thinks Orvil is doing, even though she wants to ask the same of Lony. Lony responds that he changed, and either he or Orvil has superpowers because he survived. When Opal asks why it couldn't be that he simply survived the bullet, Lony tells her that imagination can make anything true.
