What remains, and where will it take you?

One was the blood-atonement list.

From Onias, our detectives also learn that Ron knew Dianna was hiding out in Florida with their kids.

When my testimony died, he says, I thought Id die with it.

I knew then that I belonged to [Brenda] and to Erica.

Not to my brothers, not a church, but to them.

My family became my faith.

Dont turn a blind eye, he continues.

Finish Brendas calling to help Dianna and her children.

And on the Dianna front, things are looking up.

Having found the return address from Rons sons letter, Pyre tracked her down to an apartment in Florida.

Unfortunately, she has bolted by the time local police arrive.

The entry was written ten days ago, providing a timeline that confirms Dianna might still be alive.

And with that, our interstate manhunt begins.

The first stop is Wyoming, where we find Chip and Ricky hiding out at Chips brothers house.

God will make me whole again, and send you both into everlasting darkness.

The brothers had their sights on Reno, where they could get some quick cash and finish their list.

What if this is just another story, Pyre wonders?

A wrong turn here, Bill, and a lot more people die.

Dianna is en route to Utah to rescue the sister she can still get to.

How do you do this?

Walking through life with no compass?

Surrounded by the serene, desolate, quiet Southwest desert landscape, Taba smiles.

Just take a moment.

Look out, he says.

Im not sure why folks need to call such things a sign from God.

Why not just appreciate it?

If there is no God, isnt the world and us being in it all the more miraculous?

The lesson isnt over.

Taba continues, What Im saying is behereand listen.

The gut is wiser than most people think.

Its a compass, and itll give Jeb Pyre all the wisdom he needs.

In the dream, Dan said he washisone.

Ron has received another revelation telling him Dan is a false prophet and must perish.

Guess thats what happens when you recreate God in your image.

For so long, I was so sure about the things I believed.

But I was neverjustmy faith, and my gut is still intact.

Do you think that holds some power?

Nope, Taba replies.

But it reminds me of home.

We all need a home, Jeb.

You are not chosen!

she testifies with the same righteous scorn that animated Brenda before her death.

You and your brothers simply failed.

This I know to be true.

Sam is sufficiently chastised, and Dianna and Matilda escape together.
