Kidd unsuccessfully searches for Devon. Olivia spots him and says they need to talk. However, when her friends pull her away, she suggests they meet later. Kidd agrees and hurries to Red’s tent. Peanut is there, but Red is not. The dog leads Kidd to the cliff where Red is drunk. Red explains that his son hit his head while skateboarding. Ben seemed fine, but he did not wake up the next morning. Drinking from the whiskey bottle, Red claims that their lives hang by a thread that could break at any moment. He pauses before asking something about Horizons. However, Kidd asks Red to wait while he runs back to meet Olivia.

Olivia asks Kidd to stop talking about the stalker. Reluctantly, Kidd agrees. When he says he must help Red, Olivia follows. Red’s eyes are closed, and the whiskey bottle is empty. Red’s phone rings, and they see that it is his sponsor, Bill the Deacon. When it rings again, Kidd answers and explains what happened. They carry Red to his tent. When he wakes up asking Kidd why he swallowed all those pills, Kidd pretends that Red is talking nonsense.
