At lunch, Janice confronts Tova about selling her house and moving to Charter Village, insisting their “golden years” should be spent with friends and urging Tova to give Ethan a chance. Tova explains her lack of family support and refuses to burden friends, confirming the sale is nearly final and she moves next week.

On Tuesday, Tova goes to Shop-Way with a Grateful Dead T-shirt she bought at auction to replace the one she ruined. In Ethan’s checkout lane, he realizes what it is, worries about the cost, and admits he’d trade the shirt to redo their failed dinner. He’s impressed Tova drove to Tukwila on the freeway and tells her she’s “quite a woman,” softening the distance between them.

Wednesday, Tova meets Jessica Snell at an attorney’s office to sign the closing documents. The buyers—a Texas family with three young children—admire the home’s “amazing bones” and its tidy condition. With the paperwork complete, the sale is finalized.

Later, in the attic, Tova reflects on the house’s sturdy rafters and imagines the family filling the rooms. She decides to stop letting the 1989 night of Erik’s disappearance govern her life and embraces Charter Village as a fresh start. While packing linens and books, she keeps the Sowell Bay High yearbook containing Daphne Cassmore’s photo, acknowledging that answers may never come, yet still sealing away the past.
