Meanwhile, Liz goes home to her extremely worried foster parents. There is a very, very long conversation, during which Liz is as truthful as possible, which is...not very.

Henry is getting some help. (True.) No, she doesn't intend to see him again. (Mostly true.)

No, she's not hurt. (False.) She's just tired. Really tired. (True.)

School is fine. (False.) She's okay, really. (False.)

Eventually they seem satisfied, or at least resigned. Dinner is eaten in relatively companionable silence, and Clay retreats to the living room to watch the Steelers game. Georgeanna goes along, possibly because she is a good, supportive wife, but more probably because football puts her immediately to sleep and she'd like a nap.

Liz waits until they seem settled in, then takes her cellphone out to the back por, ch. She watches the koi under the lights in the little pond reflectively and dials Izzy's number.

aftermath, rp, izzy
