Story

The story

When the FBI finally shuts down the state's largest unlicensed "troubled youth" ranch, its director, Gary, sits in interrogation and taunts the forensic artist brought in to break him. He describes a twenty-one-year-old girl sent away by her own mother for the "maximum correction package," a girl who rigged a phone call and was beaten for it, then hanged herself. He asks Joseph whether the girl sounds familiar.

Joseph refuses to believe it. His eldest daughter cut ties years ago; his youngest, Maisie, is getting married today. But Gary's words about an iris tattoo, and a photo of the groom, pull him toward a truth he never saw. Watching as a ghost is Summer, the daughter who died at Oakhaven, remembering the mother who sent her there and the sister who made it happen.

At the wedding, Meredith speaks of Summer's "rebellious path" and expects her home tomorrow. Summer knows she is never coming back.
