As they’re cleaning up their yard, Rose demands to know why Wesley let Rain out even though he saw that she wasn’t wearing her collar. Wesley becomes angry and approaches Rose in a menacing way that makes her run into the house.

The power and phone are restored at Rose’s house, and she calls Weldon to tell him about Rain. He is concerned by the dog’s disappearance, and they strategize about placing “Lost Dog” signs in town. Weldon can’t yet reach Rose and Wesley’s house because of downed trees across the roads, but he promises to start building a temporary bridge across the stream at Rose’s house as soon as he can. Buoyed by talking to her uncle and finding a new set of homonyms, Rose makes a list of strategies to help find Rain.

Weldon is able to get to Rose’s house by leaving his truck on the other side of the stream and crossing it on foot at a narrow spot. He brings Rose and Wesley groceries and has also brought supplies for building a bridge. Rose excitedly tells him about her plan for finding Rain, which involves her calling all the animal shelters in the county, starting with the closest ones.
