Josh follows Robbie to the lodge. Though in pain, he knows something is wrong and wants to help Charlie. A man recommended Josh to Marge, and she paid him to bring Charlie to her so she could talk to her about the murder of her granddaughter, Maddy. Josh accepted the money because of financial woes but now feels guilty that he has put Charlie in danger. When he arrives, he takes the steak knife with him, hoping he can save Charlie.
Charlie realizes Marge is Maddy’s grandmother. She expresses sympathy and regret, but Marge does not accept Charlie’s apology. When Charlie asks Marge about Josh, the woman says she hired him to bring Charlie to the diner. Knowing now that Josh is innocent, Charlie feels even guiltier about stabbing him. Marge tells her she raised Maddy for the first four years of her life and that her death filled her with rage. After her cancer diagnosis, Marge became desperate to find Maddy’s killer. Charlie tells Marge the story about the last night she saw Maddy.
Marge demands that she tell her who killed Maddy, but Charlie tells her she does not know.
