Force of Nature

King calls Aaron and Carmen. They learn that Beth and Bree are sticking to their stories; because of how long the body spent outside in the elements, it will be difficult to pin the blame on anyone. King also shares that the remains found at the cabin are not Martin Kovac’s missing victim. The body belonged to a man—likely Sam Kovac. (The incarcerated biker has struck a deal with officers and tells them that Kovac had a reputation for being loose-lipped; the bikers with whom Kovac dealt drugs were approached by an older couple who offered payment if the bikers would kill Kovac. The bikers agreed.) Now, King, Aaron, and Carmen suspect that the parents of Martin Kovac’s missing fourth victim were the ones who approached the bikers, and King admits that they are the prime suspects.

Alice hears someone ask her who she is talking to on the phone.

Aaron and Carmen sit down to look at a flash drive that King has shared; it is full of crime scene photos. Alice’s body, covered in debris, looks small and vulnerable, and it is obvious that she was exposed to the elements for days.
