As the town's anger hits the boiling point, Daniel's family goes on alert. Foulkes presses the D.A. for a retrial. Ted Jr. & Tawney recover from disturbing encounters. Trey Willis searches for the missing George Melton. Daniel must decide his future.

(chair squeaks)

Hello, Ted.

Now I'm not saying it wasn't connected to all that's going on...

He's only lived two places his whole life.

Poach your eggs? Better on your stomach.

I'll save the boxes.

Let's play out one of your metaphors.

That might be best for everybody.

Things heating up out there?

Well...

What?

- I think. - How could that be?

She's doing laundry.

but it wasn't like out here where it's...

You were only about five or six.

I began to accept it as my destiny, my fate.

I'm so sorry I said what I said to you, Amantha.

What is it, honey?

Count on it, brother.

I shine, I float.

You can't cry for anybody.

(music playing)

My friends think I'm a sad-oholic.

Someone I recently met.

Daniel.

Daniel begins to lose his grip on reality as he struggles to adjust to life on the outside; Ted Jr. starts to question Daniel's innocence.

This is your trip, but you're about to pull a 360.

Stop!

Are you real?

Maybe.

But, it seems bigger now.

But, I mean, our church?

For God, Teddy, a need for God.

Hate him?

Somebody been talkin' to you?

You don't trust my judgment, do you?

to get right with the Lord, and then he gets out, and in six days,

A lot of good that's gonna do.

Don't worry.

We'll get another one.

Are there still men in white coats?

Be right down!

It's a trip thinkin' of you being here, now.

Mmm-hmm.

Well, we're worried about ya, honey.

You don't know?

Please be the way you want me to be?

♪ Well there ain't no grave grave gonna hold my body down ♪

and the Holy Spirit.

You know, and out here, I-I still didn't believe it,

It's Jesus who makes you happy, not me.

He had me, but he helped me up, and we walked together.

Yes?

I do.

Sure, buddy.

That's right.

Janet's day in town with Daniel turns into a media circus; Sheriff Daggett questions Trey Willis about a missing witness.

- Jon. - Sondra. Please.

Lenton.

Jon, it's inconclusive.

- First. - First or second?

I haven't thought about that since...

Kerwin: Shut up, ho.

You hear me, you sucka bitch?

as she watches you go bye-bye.

Our industry is facing

Read all about your half-brother.

(ringtone playing)

No. No comment.

How's it going, Sheriff?

- Just calm down. - Bullshit.

because I know he did.

It's like a revival.

Picture tells a thousand words, doesn't it?

Oh, you'd meet with him?

rather than the result of the act.

- Government money? - And that tit don't quit.

I hope you didn't feel pressure.

but complementary.

Nietzsche might grumble.

It's like they say, you're born again.

you're the only touch that soothed me.

You're right, Kent.

I'm just putting on my soft pants. What are you doing?

Tawney?

(beeps)

I just didn't want you to see...

Daniel retreats from the stress of recent events; Tawney reaches out to Daniel, unbeknownst to her husband; Amantha fears that the town's anger could erupt at any moment.

They have the usual suspects, too... uh, bears, bisons,

Jared?

You mind if we get real?

Due process, that sort of thing.

Takin' off.

Are you vacuuming?

Well, here's my cell number, if you need me.

I was sorry to hear about your, uh, situation.

Eighteen.

We just repeat ourselves.

My daughter, she threw 'em all away.

I'm not so sure we didn't come from goddamn monkeys.

You know, I always meant to go see him... but I never did.

Come in, come in.

Um, well, help yourself to some monkey bread.

I'll see ya later.

Daniel explores the town while Amantha worries about his safety; Ted Jr. fears for the future of the family business; tension run high at Daniel's welcome home party.

Aren't you even a little concerned?

Not miracles, I would think.

So, where's everybody else at?

I think that's all right.

Justice Row still feel positive about everything?

Ahem.

Uh-uh.

Amantha, stop.

You can go back for seconds, thirds, as much as you want here.

Do you plan on workin' at the store?

Anyway, in these uncertain economic times and tight profit margins,

There are no conjugal visits.

You are way too damn smart to be a waitress.

I gotta share my feelings with somebody.

Well, you know, I am a pork eater, just for the record.

Great.

Ah... you're always awake.

Oh, let me get that.

It's just not a world I understand.

Yeah, sure-- if that's what you want.

After 19 years on Death Row, Daniel Holden is released due to new DNA evidence. He returns with his family to his childhood home, struggling to adjust to life on the outside. Meanwhile, the Senator who prosecuted him plots to reopen the case.

"Hi, I'm Ted-- I'm, uh, your new stepbrother, and

God, I hope I don't fall apart.

Hey, man, I could tie it for you.

Well, I'm sure our current DA will address some of these complex

disputes that there was a sole perpetrator, or that

routine, which I followed religiously, you might say, a way of living

best suited to the life there behind me.

And I would like to just not talk about it for a little bit.

Try and tune that out.

for this deliverance of Daniel back into our home.

There's an end piece down there somewhere.

Well, you wanna do anything later?

He just sees things differently.

Well, he doesn't know how to, honey.

One of those boys saw Holden on top of that girl, forcin' himself.

How long has that video store been there?

I'm retired, remember?

Hey, it's after 12.

Anytime.

Dad, the minute he steps foot in this store, at least half the people

Hey, man, just read the book.

I don't know.

What's whack is... I still wanna live, every day.

Would he mind?

I-I would like a television, though, with a movie player,

This is your house, too, Daniel-- you can stay as long as you like.

Saw your speech, Senator.

Thought you were havin' belly problems, too.

I took the bus.

We were just kids.
