All those pretty songs put a tear

in your eye, all that:

I cheated on you, darling

But I love you

You're the best friend I got

Besides my bottle

Well, it all turns out

to be non-fiction.

Cade.

- That was Lissy Collier on the phone.

- Well, what took her so long?

Please tell me that we're not going

to rent the cabin to her.

To Lissy Collier?

- Lissy's moving out on Dwight?

- To Victoria Bodeen.

She's opening some kind of a store

on Main Street.

She's not gonna be trouble to you.

No.

No trouble at all.

Except every time I walk down

Main Street I have to see her face.

She was 10 years old.

Old enough to run away

and save her own skin.

And old enough to protect the person

she saw doing it.

- She wasn't there.

- Oh, so you subscribe...

...to the My Favorite Martian

version of the story?

She was able to tell us exactly

where the body was...

...because she picked it up

on her antenna.

I don't care what alibi

the police chose to swallow.

Her father raped

and murdered your sister...

...and threw her away

like a broken doll.

And I can't believe that you would

allow her to live on our property.

Ma.

And why did she have to turn up

in August, of all months?

Put your bags away, Faith.

What the hell is Tory Bodeen

doing back here?

Well, darling, a person could ask

the same thing about you.

I'll studiously ignore that.

Why did great-granddaddy have

to build this gloomy old castle...

...instead of a nice white plantation

like everybody else?

And why is it I can't wait

to get back home...

...then 10 minutes after I'm here...

...I feel like the life is being

strangled out of me?

You'll find the nightlife in Progress

hasn't improved much since you left.

Well, now, that's about

to change then, isn't it?

You tell Robbie to give you

two of these pills twice a day...

...and if he forgets you call me up

so I can give him a what-for.

You think he heard me?

- Thank you, Dr. Mooney.

- There you go. See you, Robbie.

You really should look

into the lock on that back door.

You're a married woman.

Well, then...

...how about

I read some magazines...

...while you wait for the annulment

papers to go through?

Faith...

...don't do this to me again.

- Oh, now look at this.

There's a whole

new frontier opening up...

...in homeopathic care

for household pets.

Take it off.

She never liked me.

She never said boo to me.

Just stared at me

with those spooky eyes...

...like she knew

just what I was thinking.

She had plenty to say to

Hope though...

...until I came along,

then she'd clam right up.

What does she wanna move back

into the old place for?

Probably as crazy

as people used to say.
