(FICTION)

In Episode 13, it's Christmas night 1983, and Maddie finally answers the phone that's been ringing all day. She speaks first with her mother and then father. Both had been calling for hours. Maddie was toying with her gun as she listens to them talk.

Later Con stops by to apologize for not showing, sees her gun and is freaked out when Maddie gets the courage to tell him to leave.
