This time Sam Evans gets the third degree from Sheriff Patterson involving his conversation with Vicky about Malloy, a second line of questioning providing a possible motive for wanting to kill her: perhaps her reasons for seeing that a killer is brought to justice for Malloy's death could potentially defame him for the wrongful manslaughter charge, worse if he is the one who pushed Bill off of Lookout Point.

Malloy's death looms large and will not go away--especially as long as Burke steamrolls throughout Collins Port, pissed off and unrestrained. He wants to know Sam's connection to the wrongful conviction and isn't about to just forget his presence at the meeting that night. Maggie just cannot believe that her father had anything at all to do with Malloy's death; Sam and Malloy were fr...
