[edit] Synopsis

My name is Victoria Winters. Even daylight cannot dispel the dark suspicions that constantly hover over Collinwood and over all of Collinsport.

Maggie is furious with Burke and realizes that there are connections between Burke's prison sentence and her father's change, both 10 years ago. She and Carolyn wonder if Burke really was capable of murder, again Carolyn defends the accident idea. Burke shows up. Carolyn and Burke talk about telling the truth and its aversion for the residents of Collinwood, with her being the only possible exception. The Sheriff questions Sam. Sarah Johnson shows up to demand to know who killed Bill Malloy. Maggie and Burke are cold and he puts Carolyn off for a phone call. Mrs. Johnson tells the Sheriff that Malloy had a temper but wouldn’t have killed himself any more than he would have had an accident. She tells him that Malloy ordered a special breakfast early the next morning because he had a lot of things to do. Mrs. Johnson reports that Bill’s whole life was the Fleet, the Cannery, and the Collins Family... they were his life and death and she clearly resents it. Sam shows up at the Diner and talks to Maggie about remembering when he left the house after she lays into him about attempting to get the letter from Mr. Wells. She wants to know if Burke wants to know, the Sheriff shows up and Maggie lies to him. She stands by her lie and Sam backs down, he doesn’t want Maggie to have to commit perjury. He admits he left at 10:30PM and Maggie gets fresh with the Sheriff. Burke tells Carolyn his version of the events of 10 years ago.
