Upon arriving in Rock Point, Marsha witnesses a Ku Klux Klan slaying: she later learns that the victim was Walter Adams, an out-of-town reporter who was to write an exposé on the Klan. Upon later arriving at Lucy's house, Marsha is shocked to see that Hank was one of the Klansmen who committed the murder; Lucy was unaware that he was a Klansman. Marsha decides to confront Hank and Lucy about what she saw. Meanwhile, county prosecutor Burt Rainey knows that the Klan committed the murder, everyone in town is aware, but Rainey knows that no one will come forward to implicate the Klan for what they see as the good of the town. He is also aware that Marsha would have been in the area when the murder was committed and wants to talk to her; he hopes that her outsider status would let her speak freely if she had indeed seen something. Marsha must decide what to say to Rainey, specifically taking into account how best to protect her and Lucy's welfare, which includes the fact that Lucy is pregnant.
