For the first time we see things from Everett’s pov, and we join him when he’s having dinner with his mother. A few days later he walks into his house to find a Dear John letter.
We follow his emotions as he reads the letter for the first time. After drowning in his own sorrows for a few days he comes around and decides that he needs to find out what happened to make her leave.
After watching a play-by-play of his mother’s visit, Everett knows what he needs to do. Get his family back.
