We Are All the Same in the Dark

Odette goes home to her childhood house, known locally as the Blue House because four generations of police officers have lived there—Odette, her father, her grandfather, and the town’s first sheriff. Her partner, Rusty, calls her and says they have arrested Wyatt, who was drunk and reportedly harassing a local girl named Lizzie Raymond, who looks like Trumanell.

A crowd is chanting outside the jail where Wyatt is being held; Rusty fully believes Wyatt is guilty, while Odette still seeks to protect him.

Odette goes into Wyatt’s cell to talk to him. She tells Wyatt not to talk to the police without a lawyer; Odette’s husband, Finn, has agreed to represent him. She gives him Finn’s phone number. Wyatt asks what happened to Angel, and Odette tells him about her new eye but also instructs him never to mention that he found the girl.

Five more minutes have passed without Rusty interrupting them. Odette gives Wyatt Maggie’s phone number. She admits to him that when Rusty called about Wyatt’s arrest, Odette’s instinct was to protect him. Recalling their relationship sends Odette into a traumatic flashback of the night of her accident and Trumanell’s disappearance, after which she leaves.
