Chapter 42 Summary

Content Warning: This section of the guide includes discussion of child death, anti-gay bias, illness, and death.

After she sees the televised press conference, where Livvy is acting as Traci’s assistant, Shannon drives to the Saint and confronts Traci, demanding that she fire Livvy. As a nurse, Shannon has seen many fentanyl overdoses. Traci is doing her best to protect Livvy, but she reminds Shannon that accidents happen—like Hudson’s drowning or Hoke’s plane crash. She asks Shannon for a truce despite Shannon’s feud with the Eddings family.

Chapter 43 Summary

Whelan enters Traci’s office to pick her up. She is having difficulty opening a bottle of painkillers for her headache. She admits that it’s been a bad day. As he drives her home, Traci falls asleep, and he can’t wake her. Whelan puts Traci on the couch in his apartment and decides to sleep on the floor.

Chapter 44 Summary

Livvy is angry that her mother talked to Traci and refuses to quit her job.

Back at the dorm, Livvy tells Felice that Parrish’s fentanyl overdose was clearly murder. Mrs. Eddings is offering a reward for information, so Livvy hopes to find out more. Felice makes noodles while they read through Parrish’s notebook. Livvy confesses that she doesn’t know who her father is; her mother, Shannon, got pregnant the last summer she worked at the Saint, before she was fired after a drowning at the pool.
