Pyre is less sure, competing with his own biases and familiarity with the Lafferty family.

Its the weirdest version of good-cop-bad-cop youve ever seen.

Youve turned your back on Heavenly Father, Pyre says.

Im confident that forensics will have proven your guilt by tomorrow morning.

But Allen Lafferty knelt with his wife in the temple and brought her to church with his family.

You look at these as signs of innocence, Allen reminds him, but they arent.

Immediately, the vibes are off as hell.

Raw deal, man.

Excellent casting with those two, by the way.

As much as they had their eyes on her … she had her eyes on us, says Allen.

Back in the present, Pyre asks Allen if he misses going to church.

Yes, he says, but what he misses most is the days when he believed God was love.

It was love, after all, that drove Joseph Smith to create his one true church.

With their love, Allen says, God would share hidden truths.

It turns out its Robin Lafferty, the next key witness in this unfolding mystery.

What if evil found its way here?
