The Truth about the Devlins

TJ parks outside Barry’s apartment building, wondering if the man killed Neil. When Barry comes out of his house, TJ recognizes him as a new attendee at his regular AA meeting about a month earlier, under a different name. TJ jumps out of his car and calls Barry’s name. Barry runs into the street without looking and is hit by a pickup truck. The driver jumps out—she knows Barry from the neighborhood. TJ calls 911. Neighbors surround him, questioning who he is. TJ texts John, worried that he will go back to prison for his involvement in Barry’s death. John arrives and calms TJ down.

The police put TJ in the back of a cruiser, and it reminds him of the night that he was arrested. He was driving home to Carrie with her toddler daughter, Emily, in the backseat. On the way, he stopped at a bar for a drink and stayed for hours, forgetting about Emily until someone called the police and they arrested him. He had been in recovery since that night. He knows Carrie will never forgive him and he doesn’t expect her to. Now, when the police car arrives at the station, he sees both John and Paul waiting outside.
