Isla is confronted by the local police and given an ultimatum that may keep her from seeing her father for the first time in 13 years.
Isla’s father tries to innocence card but Isla knows better, yet she can’t help but hope for a scenario where she isn’t a murderer’s daughter. Isla and Tina investigate for themselves and learn there might be something to his alibi.
Isla crashes at Tina’s place on the reserve and after knocking on a few doors they uncover several strange deaths written off by the police which all have something in common: Isla’s mother.

Isla connects with JJ who reveals evidence that went overlooked by the police in the investigation of his mother's murder. Tina follows up on the clue while the waitress at the Bluebird Diner serves Isla a big surprise.
Isla plots her escape from the farm, but is stopped dead in her tracks when she discovers who her hosts have invited over for a visit. Back in town, Isla is finally able to look her mother's killer in the eye – too bad nobody believes her.
